The Addiction Power


No one can truly know how it feels to have an addiction

until they have experienced it.

It lures

deceptively attractive

temporarily appealing then,

disapointingly unsatisfying and

powerfully suffocating.

So how do we overcome.

Each has his own journey but it doesn't have to be alone.

Everyone has basic needs and when the addiction stands in place of a natural need,

it has POWER.

Overcoming addiction is more than just stopping the habit.

It is about changing a lifestyle, meeting needs, filling an emptiness, and realizing that

you should have the power.
