Shattered Truth

Children set-up for addiction "You're an accident waiting to happen? (Overview of the series)

Several blogs that comes I will try to outline the childhoods is often a set up for addiction. Let me repeat that, and probably say ad nauseam … children of those who love addicts are a set-up for Second-hand addiction. It is so important to realize this for several reasons. First, are you asking if I love you an addict? If you're wondering this, and you see the familiar childhood settings that I will describe, well then, you know you are in the right direction. Secondly, what we are creating the next generation? If we can see what happens in the addicted family dichotomy, then we know what needs to move and change what does not happen in the next generation. And thirdly, if you notice that, indeed, grow in the environment I describe, then you may be aware that non-compliance mechanism may be to find a partner who has an addiction problem. Knowledge is power, however you and your family will probably need help to avoid vicious circle, so they call the addiction "La Familia" Disease

However, it is important to know that a form of addiction " be "can appear within several families scenarios. Clearly, pure and simple drug or alcohol addiction of any person in the family will make many of the family traits, I will describe in the next innings. Gambling addiction, eating disorders and food addiction will create the same problems. Addiction Sexual, which often appears as gross infidelity and obsession with pornography, incest, and also create a family environment "as an addict. Mental illness bipolar disorder, depression, severe physical illness, childhood trauma and as set a similar stage. And anyone who grew up in either setting, inevitably going to create many of these traits in dysfunctional families.

It's a lot. I know. This means that many of us grew up in an environment that is conducive to later problems with addictive lifestyle. Somehow we can begin to see that many of us in society are like mini bombs. Our fuses are out waving in the wind and we're walking past countless fires along the road. And we wonder why explode.

I'm taking the next entry in this thought. I feel very close to someone married a man who never drank a drop, and by all outward appearances could not be an addiction. After many years of marriage happened to him like hell, they found their way in addiction counseling. Her husband was promptly labeled a dry drunk, which is a term for someone who I used to drink, and now and not get help. A dry drunk can often be more wretched and offensive that a drinker. My friend was confused. How could it be her husband a dry drunk. He never drank a drop, and got migraines every time I took a sip of beer. Closer examination revealed an alcoholic brother and his grandfather (who raised two children) as well as a history of childhood trauma. He had learned at an early age an alcoholic "way of being ', which in some so was more difficult to uproot. He had to be treated "as if" there was a problem with drinking, although he never drank a drop! Now that is a vicious circle.

In the next posts we will explore what seems to grow in a kind of addiction of a family environment. For the purpose of the facility often can simply call this environment "dysfunctional." This simply means that there is a very functional way to live, which is quite true, as you will see. www.secondhandaddiction.blogspot.com
