Think back to a time in your life when you indulged in a cigarette, a drink of whiskey, or even something more potent like cocaine, heroin, or marijuana. Whatever their legal standing, let's concentrate on what happens within your body. When you take that inhale, drink, snort, or toke, your body is immediately overwhelmed with countless numbers of potent compounds. These molecules move swiftly through your bloodstream and eventually reach your brain. Once they take hold in your brain, an amazing series of electrical and chemical reactions begin to take place. Your ideas and emotions are rearranged in your head like an enthralling firework show. You become hooked before you realize it.

Whether it's an excessive desire for something positive or a more dangerous habit, we all have our own addictions. It's time to take action when these habits begin to control your life so that they don't take over completely.
