Gambling Away Your Future
Just take a chance - you might win big! The lure of easy money is powerful. What if you could spend a single dollar and win millions in the lottery? You start out buying one ticket, then another and another - but you never win anything substantial.
You might win twenty dollars and use it to buy more tickets. Once you get the gambling bug, it’s a short step from buying a lottery ticket at the convenience store to pulling a chair up to the slot machines in a casino.
With so many online gambling sites, it’s easy for anyone to gamble – even those who are underage, and teenage gambling addictions are growing. The sites say you have to be over 18 or 21, but who’s checking the IDs? (more…)

Combating Those Fast Food Addictions
Although there is still debate in the scientific community as to the causes of fast food addictions, many people willingly admit that fast food addictions exist. This is because you can become addicted to anything – shopping, your lover, checking your e-mail, video games, let alone fast food. This is due to the nature of the human brain. That’s the bad news. The good news is that you can fight fast food addictions with your brain, as well.
Go To the Doctor
If you suspect that you might have any kind of addiction, talk to your doctor as soon as you can. He or she will not be shocked. They will have heard everything. They might say there is no such thing as fast food addictions, but that is meant to calm you down and not chide you. Doctors can help point you in the right direction for any kind of dieting problems. Even so. it will still be up to you to actually do something about your fast food addictions.
It Will Not Be Pretty
Withdrawal symptoms from fast food addictions, or any kind of addiction, can be painful and powerful enough to take over your life. You may feel ashamed that something has such a hold on you that you start to devote most of your time and money into planning and getting hold of the fast food. Everyone has their crosses to bear – so don’t waste time pitying yourself. Turn that energy into anger and MOVE.
Keep yourself distracted while your body is going through any pains, shakes, headaches or any other kind of withdrawal symptom. Don’t sit still, unless your doctor has prescribed you tranquilizers to help you get through this often exquisitely painful time. But since many doctors believe that fast food addictions are urban legends, you will probably not have the crutch of tranquilizers.
One of the best things you can do is clean. Clean anything, even if it’s only one coffee cup. Many people find they get a sense of accomplishment turning dirty things into clean things. You can point to the cleaned object and prove that you did something constructive. You can also walk, swim, do needlepoint, play with the dog, write articles for web sites or do just about anything else to keep your mind and your body from its pain. You want to exhaust your body so you won’t stay awake longing for a burger or fries all night, which can be a miserable feeling.

Do You Have a Chocolate Addiction?
Chocolate was only meant to be eaten or drunk as a special treat on sacred occasions, much like tobacco or alcohol. These were considered luxuries by the ancients partially because of the intense time to make them but mostly because of the havoc a lot could wreak upon the body. Everything is meant to be in balance, including what we eat. If you only drink one glass of wine on Saturday nights, you are not an alcoholic. If you knock ‘em back the moment you wake up to when you fall unconscious, then you definitely have a problem. If all you eat is chocolate, you may have a chocolate addiction. (more…)

Dog Drool
Pavlov’s infamous experiments in proving that associations exist will explain how hypnotism works. In his experiment, Pavlov rang a bell before feeding a dog. Dogs drool at the sight of food. After a few feeds, the dog began to drool as soon as the bell was rung. The dog had associated the sound of the bell with yummies. Hypnotism works in the same way in curbing sugar cravings. (more…)
