As you probably know, the difficulty with bad habits, behaviors, and eventually addictions, is that they don’t often begin that way. We might have grown up drinking socially but as we went through high school and maybe college, and got out into the working world, that may have progressed from a few drinks a week or hear and there, on a couple of nights a week, to considerably more than that, more regularly. Sometimes the progression of this began to cause problems in our life, whether it be drug or alcohol use or abuse, or any other substance or unhealthy behavior or habit we have, such as excessive video games, porn, and even TV and social media.

When these bad habits and behaviors are not done in moderation, they can sometimes start to create significant problems and negative consequences in our lives, that can negatively affect our health, energy, relationships, finances, performance at work…the list goes on.

Sometimes the problems manifest in negative effects and strains on our relationship with our significant other, our kids, our friends, or co-workers. They can also manifest in our lives by starting to create negative health consequences, even take a toll on our physical appearance. These habits and behaviors are often the outward expressions of other underlying things that we may not have addressed, at the root of our identity, our beliefs, our values, all of which directly influence our behaviors and habits, whether they’re negative or positive.
