Over time, the body and mind can develop a tolerance to coping habits, meaning that people need to engage in the behaviour more often or for longer periods of time to achieve the same level of relief. This can lead to an addiction as people continue to increase the frequency and intensity of their coping behaviour.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Addiction is a form of codependence. They arise in circumstances where the ego does not have a program to cope with the outside world. To alleviate the stress and discomfort the void left by the Self is taken up by a coping mechanism.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n Thought-Provoking Quote<\/b><\/p>\r\n \u201cThe further assumption is applied that cognition is a coping, instrumental mechanism, and that it must to some extent be egocentric. It assumes that the world can be seen only from the vantage point of the interests of the perceiver and that the experience must be organised around the ego as a centering and determining point.\u201d [1]<\/span> ~ Abraham Maslow: Toward A Psychology Of Being<\/span><\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Addictions are also the ego’s way of nurturing your emotional well-being. The ego’s role is to help you to survive the day, both physically and emotionally. But when you rely on a certain behaviour to feel better you are masking the real problem.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
