Recognizing Addictive Thinking Patterns for Better Decision-Making
We all have moments when we contemplate making choices that may not be in our best interest. These thoughts, especially when they revolve around addictive behaviors, can be destructive. In this blog post, we'll explore how to instantly recognize addictive thinking patterns because once you can identify them, you can start making healthier choices.
Addictive Thinking Patterns
1. **Secretive Thoughts:** One of the clearest signs of addictive thinking is when you find yourself contemplating a thought or behavior that you wouldn't want to share with others, especially a counselor. This secrecy often precedes a bad decision.
2. **Feelings of Deprivation:** When you start feeling deprived and resentful about not being able to engage in certain behaviors that you believe others can, you're on the brink of a relapse. These thoughts are rationalizations, and they can lead you down a dangerous path.
3. **Believing in a False Solution:** Addiction often convinces us that using or engaging in addictive behavior is the only solution to our problems. It makes you believe it's the answer when, in reality, it only worsens the situation.
4. **Wrong Environments:** Addiction can lead you to make excuses for being in situations and around people that you know you should avoid. Being close to temptation increases the likelihood of giving in.
5. **Misjudging Friendships:** Addiction can make you view your real friends—those who want to help and support you—as enemies while validating, enabling buddies to become your false allies.
6. **Building Resentments:** Addictive thinking patterns often go hand-in-hand with self-pity and resentment. This mindset allows you to evade responsibility and accountability.
7. **False Hope:** The belief that "it will be different this time" is a common addictive thought. It's a dangerous lie that can lead to relapse and further problems.
