Episode 15: Recognizing Addiction

Often, the revelation that a loved one is hiding an addiction is a devastating blow. Yet, there are signs and symptoms of addictive behavior and addictive patterns that you can recognize in yourself and others, before a full-on addiction is created. Dishonesty, secrets, lying, selfishness, manipulation, and deception support addictions to fester and grow. If you want to know whether you or your loved one is moving towards addiction, please don't wait until the consequences have mounted so large that you can't ignore them. Learn the signs and symptoms of a developing addiction, and address it. If addressed early (before they become full-blown, out-of-control addictions), addictive behaviors and patterns are far, far easier to resolve. What are the common signs of addiction? How do people talk and present themselves when addiction or addictive behaviors are present? What is the difference between addictive behaviors, vs a full-blown ADDICTION? In this episode, Jodi explains the signs, patterns and presentations of addiction.
