Addictions are our way of appeasing anxieties. When we feel anxiety, we seek our addictive substance hoping to temporarily remove that unpleasant feeling. This, of course, just creates a vicious cycle because we then become even more addicted and feel even worse when that substance leaves our system. We could be talking here about nicotine, caffeine, sugar, chocolate, sweets, tranquilizers and / or drugs of any type. Thus, we become addicted in an effort to sedate unwanted feelings and then a whole series of feelings are created around this effort to avoid the original feeling. EFT's results for Addiction and Substance Abuse problems are often extraordinary.
