Tell me, does this describe someone you know?
Some people who feel inferior use an addiction to try to overcome weaknesses, especially in times of increased stress or deep inner conflict. A persons inner inferiority complex reveals itself in his or her actions such as addiction, drug abuse, alcohol abuse, child abuse, compulsive eating, blame and aggression among others.
No successful person desires a destructive addiction. What people who choose addiction or abuse really want is the power and ability to create better lives.
Fearing they do not have this power to improve their lives, you will hear these people use excuses and blame to justify their addiction and abuse and protect what little dignity they feel they have left.
If you find yourself or others dealing with addiction or abuse, instead of justifying or blaming, ask the following questions:
Do I really want healing and resolution for this addiction or abuse?
Am I willing to improve myself to achieve healing?
Do I realize I cant control others? The only one I can control is me.
Am I willing to take the first step for myself and get rid of my addiction, abuse...
