Addictions

By the time a habit has turned into an addiction it will have taken over your life almost completely, the addiction will now be all you think about and how you can get more of it. It will now be affecting your thoughts, feelings and behaviour to the point where nothing else in your life matters.

How does addiction affect the mind?

An addiction will affect a person’s outlook on life and their attitude and can seriously begin to change their personality. This doesn’t only apply to addictions of alcohol, cigarettes or drugs but to any type of addiction. How addiction affects the mind can be divided into two parts, those that relate to our thinking and those that relate to our feelings.
