addiction

The realities of addition; the truth about living under, above and beyond the influence of drugs and alcohol.

Being in love with Someone who has an addiction
I knew he was using but I didn't know how bad it had gotten. I still see him in my dreams, but it was before it had gotten really bad. I don't want to remember him like that. When we first met he told me falling for him would ruin my life and I laughed. I know what he meant now but he didn't ruin my life. I think he saved it. I wish being in love was enough. I wish it counted for anything at all.

Best Hypnosis Script For Smoking Clients
(Video transcribed) The next question is, Scott, what was your best stop smoking script? And can you send me an example of this script? No, no, for both. Obviously you probably haven’t seen a lot of my work. I don’t use scripts, I don’t teach scripts. I never use scripts. I don’t recommend scripts for this reason. Smoking and stop smoking is a symptom. So, how can I write a script based on a symptom? That’s number one. Number two, how on earth could you script for something regardless of it being a symptom? Let’s say that is the actual root cause, which it never is. How can you prepare beforehand what you’re going to say or what stories or metaphors you’re going to use before your client actually gives them to you? What I mean by this is scripting is like presuming what a conversation will be. It’s presuming that you know about your client’s problem.
