Addiction is the state of no longer being in control of your emotions or urges when it comes to a specific substance or activity. You might have every other aspect of your life under control, but not that specific thing. By not having that specific thing under control, whether it be drink, food, drugs, sex, gambling, the internet or anything else, then you really have nothing in control. That one thing that you can’t control can easily turn around and start to control you. That’s addiction, and it’s a serious matter. Our Thriveworks Westborough addiction counselors, therapists, and psychologists are able to help you if you need it.
It doesn’t matter what you’re addicted to at all. It might be crack cocaine or it might be fizzy drinks, what matters is that your addiction is controlling you now. Maybe you thought that you were controlling it, but you were wrong. No matter what you’re addicted to, you’re probably sharing some of the same symptoms:
