Some years ago, the term "addictive personality" popped up in the literature. Then it went away again. The concept just didn`t ring true to professionals working with addicts.
But over and over again, people with evey kind of addiction have confided in me that they believe an addictive personality is at the root of their difficulties, so no matter how hard they try to control their behavior, the desire for excess is going to come out another way.
Even people who don`t appear to have addictions -- but who do seem to live life at a level of intensity that might be too much for many people -- feel that they are constantly striving to keep the pull of addiction at bay.
So, whether you are diagnosed with an addiction, or if you just feel a life of moderation isn`t enough for you, here are ten things to stop doing in you have an addictive personality.
