It would be very convenient to be able to resolve all of the issues that have attributed to one's Addiction. The issue here is that unless some kind of "Change" occurs rather quickly, you may either "Die" or end up spending the rest of your life in "Prison or some other Institution!"    "Change" is the Key Word.  If you make a positive change in behaviors, a positive change in thinking will occur.  If you make a positive change in thinking, a positive change in behavior will occur.  This is the premise that Cognitive Behavioral theories are based on!
