RE: Addiction – An Overview

in #psychology7 years ago

Hello dear @iamkuyaj,

It always makes me smile to hear the stories of people who manage to fight their addictions. Thank you for sharing your experience here, since it gives hope to those who are going through the same experience now. It looks like you had a very rational approach in your decision to stop! Maybe the reason you initiated could be explained through the Rational Choice Model - I am just speculating here :).

I found truly interesting the fact you did not undergo the withdrawal phase and manages to drink only occasionally nowadays. Gosh, aren't we humans fascinating! I just love learning about the different and unique ways each one of us deals with life experiences.

A book? :D Well, with all the motivation and support you give me I am definitely considering to write one in the future! Thank you for your always encouraging words my dear.

Have a great day!
:*

If you do decide to write a book, Ms. @abigail-dantes you may be interested in checking out a colleague of mine, she is an editor and putting together a course on marketing your book, she writes romance novels and like I said, she runs an editing business. She has a partner who is a clinical psychologist and they have joined forces to create this course. I have helped her with feedback on what to include in the course content and will be a participant. you can check it out at: http://www.author180.com/ . There will be lifetime access to the course and FB group. I don't get a commission or anything by inviting people I just want to share it and have quality people I know of to share in the journey if they so choose :)

Oh Gosh @soulsistashakti :)
Thank you so much for this incredible info! This is very kind and thoughtful of you.
You know, I am begining to consider this more seriously :)

You're welcome. I think sometimes when we are presented with just the right kind of information, with the right kind of support opportunity can just appear in the blink of an eye :)

Hello again :) . I just wanted to let you know the launch of this course has been cancelled. I am going to work with Sarah Barbour on a unique plan for my book.

i had to stop after studying the physiology of the body. hahaha
it would be very stupid of me to not stop after learning what it does to the body, especially smoking. Not only does it kills me slowly, but also i'm indirectly killing the people inhaling the smoke near me. So i just had to stop there and then. Hehe

I'm fortunate enough i did not undergo withdrawal, i wonder why though? hmmm
Because i have witness the withdrawals from my friends and its not easy for them, they suffered mentally.
Anyways, i'll search what Rational choice model is, i have no idea what it is. hehe

Can i have a discount, if you write one in the future? :)

😂 Yes!!! 50% discount!

great. haha 😂😂😂
i'll look forward to that day then.
