addictions

At present it is my belief that all addictions arise from 2 areas.
1,
They are biochemical malfunction which is related to faulty diet, mainly consumption of too much sugar in its various guises including too much sweet fruit.
A lack of animal foods especially animal fats and omega 3 fatty acids
Over consumption of complex and refined carbohydrates due to an inability to process starches.
Sugar being a gateway drug effecting our nuerotransmitters which causes us to seek substances to either relax or stimulate us.

2,
In our fast paced goal orientated society, we have been programmed to achieve some kind of status which doesn't exist. In our attemp to get love, there is a tendancy to disempower ourselves leading to people pleasing and co-dependancy. Moving away from the moment and loosing touch with reality.
