Dismantle your addiction and build your capacity to make room for difficult emotions.
Developing an addiction takes creativity, experimentation, and a willingness to step in to the unknown. Furthermore, in my experience with high functioning addicts, it is usually the most effective way to numb out difficult emotions instead of making room for them.
It can happen to anyone motivated enough to want to fit in, manage their nerves, distract themselves from pain, or override their sleep needs. Or perhaps all four and more!
What many people don’t realise is that addiction is sneaky, and it can creep up on you when you least expect it. Many people don’t seek out one to one addiction counselling because they believe they are in control. Afterall, they’re smart; they can hide their habit; they’re moneyed; they can afford it, and they’re employed; they have marketable skills. Until they don’t.
A willingness to make changes and seek one to one addiction counselling doesn’t have to occur when you have hit rock bottom. Attending one to one addiction counselling can start the day you decide you are willing to make room for your difficult emotions.
Why wait to lose everything? Why not invest in yourself and get better at making room for difficult emotions when all of your supports are beside you and wanting to help?
Research estimates that 2.5 million working days are lost each year due to drinking and drug use – at a cost of more than $680 million.
