Addiction

An addiction is not just restricted to drugs and alcohol. People can be addicted to many different substances, from alcohol and illegal drugs to prescription medicines, as well as to some types of behaviour. After doing some research on this subject, the most common addictions I found are: 

• Alcohol addiction 
• Nicotine / cigarette addiction 
• Gambling Addiction 
• Addiction to Prescribed Drugs
•  Drug Addiction
•  Shopping Addiction
•  Internet Addiction 
• Sex Addiction 
• Video Games Addiction. 

These addictions have and still are destroying many families and lives around the world. I personally have never been addicted to any of the above but I have witnessed certain family members lives go down the drain and be completely destroyed because of an addiction. Some former school friends of mine have become unrecognisable due to substance abuse.

 Some are no longer alive but for those that are I believe there is still hope for them to be free from their addiction and rebuild their lives, as it is for you who may be going through it now.

A special event will be taking place this Sunday (27th January 2013) at UCKG Help Centres across the UK, to help break the cycle of addiction, change your habits and get your life back on track. Want to know more? Visit www.uckg.org or leave a comment below.
