Whether it’s a problem with alcohol, opioids, nicotine or any other substance, addiction affects the health and safety of Americans every year and impacts millions of lives worldwide. The Addiction Center defines “addiction” as “a mental disorder which compels someone to repeatedly use substances or engage in behaviors even though they have harmful consequences.” According to the Addiction Center website, the year 2020 has been a particularly dangerous year for substance abuse. In addition to the effect of compulsive and addictive behavior on individuals, it also can create challenges in relationship, family, community and work situations.
While various types of treatments are available to help those affected by such substances and behaviors, a mindset of desire and commitment to rising above compulsive behavior is also a necessary component for dealing with life’s challenges. In this video, Sadhguru offers a hopeful way to create such a mindset for moving from compulsiveness to consciousness.
