Slide1

Other Types of AddictionsSlide2

An addiction can be defined as...

the

continual use of a mood altering substance or

behaviour

despite negative or dependent consequences

.

People with an addiction do not have control over what they are doing, taking or using. Their addiction may reach a point at which it is harmful. Addictions do not only include physical things we consume, such as drugs or alcohol, but may include virtually anything, such abstract things as gambling to seemingly harmless products, such as chocolate - in other words, addiction may refer to a

substance

dependence.

Slide3

A habit may eventually develop into an addiction

Many

of us can use substances or become engaged in activities without any significant problems. Some people, however, may experience damaging psychological and/or physical effects when their

habit

becomes an

addiction

.Slide4

What is the difference between a habit and an addiction?

Addiction

- there is a psychological/physical component; the person is unable to control the aspects of the addiction without help because of the mental or physical conditions involved

.

Habit - it is done by choice. The person with the habit can choose to stop, and will subsequently stop successfully if they want to. The psychological/physical component is not an issue as it is with an addiction

.Put simply - with a habit you are in control of your choices, with an addiction you are not in control of your choices.Slide5

What do addictions look like?

lack

of control (substance or

behaviour

"takes over")instant gratification (short term gain/long term pain)preoccupation with the substance or

behaviour (it's all a person thinks about)psychological dependence (feeling and believing that the substance or behaviour makes one whole)it becomes one's "

centre" (life revolves around the substance or behaviour)loss of other life goals

Activity

Choose one of the

following

addictions and try to imagine a day in the life of that addict.

Put yourself in their shoes and write a story about a typical day's events. Use the "What Addictions Look Like" notes to help. Your story should focus on the addiction and how it effects the life of the main character and the people around her/him.

Your story should describe: What you do. How you behave. What you are thinking about. How you interact with friends and family.Slide9
