"The Recovery Process"

Inspired by addiction and substance abuse. "Addiction is a person's attempt to regulate their own nervous system." It helps to relieve our dysrelugated nervous system by providing temporary "feel good" chemicals such as dopamine for instant, short-term relief. It is any behavior that we use to cope with our emotions, and it is the result of a deep feeling of lack of self-connection and connection to others. Addicts are trapped within their own trauma body, therefore it is not considered a choice as their nervous system becomes dependent on the behavior. This can be seen in substance use, pornography, shopping, gambling, video games, social media use, toxic relationship dynamics, workaholism, food consumption/restriction, etc. The need becomes so strong to the point of the person returning to the behavior over and over again despite any long-term consequences. The addiction leads the person to believe that their body will handle what their mind and heart cannot. It is important to separate the self/person from the addiction, as when the body is sick, addiction is a disease. The attempt to fill the void.
