Thought Addiction: Recognition is Growing in Southwest Florida

“Thanks to all and to all happy thoughts” 

I did a search on Thought Addiction and what did I see but that my blog "Post-traumatic Stress Disorder & Thought Addiction ( http://williamtollefsonvalues.blogspot.com/2011/06/posttraumatic-stress-disorder-thought.html ) was #1 on Google Search for Thought Addiction. 

In fact this morning I was also #2 for my HUB article on Thought Addiction: The Truth at http://drbilltollefson.hubpages.com/hub/Addiction_Begins_with_a_Thought as well as #6 and #8 on first page. That is huge and I am grateful to all. 

On the second Google Search page my Thought Addiction Assessment is #8 there. If you want to find out if you might have a Thought Addiction -TA, take the assessment I have created to help anyone figure it out in the comfort of your home and grade it.

 I have worked hard to get this recognized for Thought Addiction (TA) and it is starting to get the recognition it deserves. As I have always said “Every addiction starts with a thought” and “Once sober all you are left with is the thought that started addiction to a substance, emotion, behavior or even a thought.”

Addiction: What Does It Take

Wanting to beat an addiction takes more than just a wish, whether it is a substance, behavior emotion or thought. Essential to being successful, one has to develop an active action plan, sever of old habits and complete a shift in mindset. Also commitment and practice to a personal daily holistic recovery program, whatever form it takes, is required in order to beat an addiction. Just attending a recovery program and not working it is not enough. Dedication and consistent practice of a holistic recovery program is the key success. No athletic ever won a gold medal without practicing their sport every day, whether they felt like it or not. Part-time practice accomplishes nothing. One does not have to be perfect at the program to be successful, one just have to do it. Daily practice will increase one’s skill level and help create a discipline. In conclusion, cessation of an addiction is achieved by changing habitual addiction patterns, full allegiance to a holistic recovery program and daily follow through. 

Thought Addiction

“Addictions come in all kinds of different forms, but all start with a thought”

What is a thought addiction?

Thought addiction is real. It can consume and devastate someone’s life. Can there be an addiction to a thought? By definition yes it can. The definition of thought addiction is the development of a habitual pattern to one thought or set of thoughts. Thought addiction is the returning to a thought that does not serve the individual and has damaging results that depletes every system of the body. An addiction to a thought produces a rapid and intense change in mood and causes a painful withdrawal when there is an attempt to stop.
