Softer Addictions

Clearcreek Counseling

5 Sycamore Creek Drive,Springboro, OH 45066

Counseling in the Cincinnati/Dayton Area

Do you engage in your activity (watch tv, surf the internet, eat or procrastinate) more now than you did a year ago?

Do you use your activity (internet, tv, eating, procrastinating, sex, porn) to zone out or escape from the world?

Do you spend money that you don't have on your activity or habit?

Do you hide your habit from loved ones?

Are you ashamed of your habit?

Does your habit or activity force you to have a 'secret life'?

Do you think about your habit constantly?

Do you fear that your spouse or companion will find out about your habit?

Do you downplay the seriousness of your habit, but your companion thinks differently?

Do you know if you're heart that your habit controls you?

Do you spend too much time surfing the internet, watching tv, eating compulsively, having random sex, looking at porn or procrastinating? If so, you may have a "soft" addiction. Although "soft" addictions may be small compared to an alcohol or drug addiction, any addiction can interfere with your enjoyment of life.

If you answer 'yes' to any of these questions, therapy could help you. If you feel controlled by your activity, it's time to seek help (no matter how trivial you think your habit is). The road to a better life starts here.
