- You Can Not Blame Anyone But Yourself If You Smoke Cigarettes
By: Jenna Anderson | - It really does not matter how long there have been tobacco growers in this country and others, the fact remains that it kills people.

Some people live because they grow and sell tobacco and others end up dieing because they buy it and smoke it. You would think that there would be a better way of life for both. Why ...

- Common Addictions
By: Sudhir.k.Pandit | - Many people are aware of the fact that addictions are used to avoid pain, and most of us are aware of the common addictions: food, alcohol, drugs, gambling, TV, spending, work, sex, rage and so on. Most people, however, are not aware of the more subtle addictions, the addictions that are often so covert and pervasive that they are as invisible to us as the air we breathe. Yet these addictions may be impacting us negatively as much as the more overt addictions.

- Is Nicotine Replacement Therapy Right For Me?
By: Kimberley Steffano | - The whole concept of nicotine replacement therapy is that it gives your body a low dose of nicotine to help ease the cravings.

- How To Identify And Overcome Addictions
By: Helene Rothschild | - When we are addicted to someone or something, it means we behave like a slave because we allow the person or strong habit to control us. It is what we do in excess in order to avoid our painful feelings (hurt, anger, fear, loneliness, emptiness, etc.). Therefore, addictions are often the symptoms and not the causes of our troubles. They make us feel better for a short period of time but then we soon need another "fix", because we still have the pain from the underlying negative feelings.

- Overcoming Addictions
By: Gemma Bailey | - There are many myths and misconceptions surrounding the reasons why addictions occur. Some believe that substances in themselves are not addictive, that it is the bodies chemical reaction to the substance to which the individual is addicted. This claim could certainly seem plausible when considering gambling or shopping addictions. There is no foreign chemical entering the body, rather that the body is creating its own chemical reaction (excitement/ adrenalin) in response to the external stimulu ...

- Addictions Counselor Certification: Why Should I Get It?
By: Dr. Dawn-Elise Snipes | - Research and clinical practice has demonstrated that co-occurring disorders (addictions and mental health issues occurring together) are the rule, not the exception.

- Pain Addictions. Self-mutilation Addictions
By: David Hill | - Addictions to pain are far more dangerous than any other addiction in the world. The pain experienced is often far worse than the victim allows anyone to believe.

President Bush said we are addicted to oil. Most smokers say they are addicted to nicotine. I thought I was. Some, in attempting to quit, chew nicotine gum or apply nicotine patches. Neither work in more than fifteen per cent of cases because nicotine is not addicting. Heroin is.
