Signs of Addiction: What Are the Warning Signs of Behavioral Addiction?
What are the warning signs of behavioral addiction?
There is no singular line that I can say “Once this happens then you should intervene as a loving family member”. It’s mostly about: the severity of the behavioral addiction, the consequences of it, the amount of time being spent on the involvement with the behavior and the type of behavior it is. To be frank, most family members don’t even know what’s going on, they just sort of suspect something is going on without knowing the specifics. It’s generally better to just sit a family member (if you can) down and just talk about it rationally and (of course) non-moralistically to get an answer about what they think is going on. Again, your definition of behavioral addiction may not be their definition, and it’s important not to put labels on the addict – “You’re in denial because you’re not in agreement with me”. Rather, accept their perspective on it and move from there, and be available as the addict says “I want more and more help.” For more information go to aaalternatives.com
