To Cure an Emotional (Non-Drug) Addiction, Is It Best to Go Cold Turkey?
Question by A: To cure an emotional (non-drug) addiction, is it best to go cold turkey?
Cold turkey, meaning STOP all reminders of it…..complete extinction?
For example, if you are addicted to a certain group of people, is it best to starve yourself of the group completely, stay away from the group altogether?
The reason I’m confused is because opinions on curing emotional addiction are numerous and divided. Some talk about childhood or go into the reasons for being addicted. Others say Ooh, you need to get a hobby. Improve your self-esteem.
But no one has said exactly what you’re supposed to do (behaviorally) in relation to the addictive content itself (ie the group of people).

No. You should start just reducing your addiction little by little until nothing is left.
Is All Drug Addiction Bad? What Is Wrong With Being Addicted to Sleeping Pills?
Question by thetigersnameistony: Is all drug addiction bad? What is wrong with being addicted to sleeping pills?
I have been addicted to sleeping pills for a while (probably years.) They are over the counter. I take them only at night to sleep…it’s not like they are disturbing my life in any way.
I actually don’t know if I am addicted because I have not tried to fall asleep without them and once recently I actually fell asleep without them and slept through the night. I just love the sleep I get using them and hate “trying” to fall asleep. I could sit up all night easily without them. With them I just fall into sleep and I love that.
What is the big deal? This is my secret shame, because I know the idea of addiction is negative, but is this something to be concerned about.
