I’m addicted…

Odds are that:

• 1 out of 7 adults is addicted to alcohol
  
• 1 out of 8 adults is addicted to drugs
  
• 1 out of 8 adults is addicted to the internet
  
• 1 out of 5 adults is addicted to gambling
  

 

I have an addiction too. Although it is something I MUST do in order to be happy, I don't really think it's out of control or something I need to get help for.

 

I've tried it in the past, here and there. I never really got hooked on it before…it never really did much for me. Two years ago though, I joined a group and we did it all the time. I started to notice a change in me…physically and emotionally. People around me noticed it too, and wondered what I was doing that made me change. I tried to get others addicted…to come with me to do it…but most of the time they wouldn't. They didn't want to become an addict like me. They questioned what it was that made me feel like I couldn't live without it. I guess it was the rush of adrenaline pulsing through my body as I beat an old time, pushing myself harder and faster than ever before. It was the comradery I developed with so many other addicts; they made me feel just like family. I love the endorphin release just when I am starting to get off my high…that boost me right back up to do it again. I never knew or realized just how much of an addict I was until recently when I had to stop cold turkey because of a knee injury.

 

I miss it.

 

I can't WAIT to start again.

 

I feel like part of my life is missing…a HUGE chunk of my being has gone cold, and I DESPERATELY need a fix.

 

Well, I guess the first step to dealing with an addiction is to admit you have a problem.
