Here are some things that I think you might like! Almost all are from Abraham Hicks and this link is a 12 step program for Abraham followers:

More on Addictions from Abe:

Guest: I'd like to know what to do when relief looks like too many chocolate chip cookies or too many games on the computer? Or for some, pain pills or alcohol?

Abraham: If that keeps looking like relief, then what must be happening is you must be continuing to turn back the other way. In other words, we can see it looking like relief once or twice, but if it keeps being the thing that is relief, it means: that's relief, then you find the upstream thought, and that's relief, then you find the upstream thought, that's relief, then you find the upstream thought.

That was really good!

QUESTION: I am a counselor and I work with a number of people who are seeking assistance or release from a variety of kinds of addictions: drugs, gambling, food, alcohol. I'm wanting to be of the greatest assistance I can be to them, and I'd like your assistance.

ABRAHAM: Well, the thing about all of those addictions is that there is another hunger that is deeper, that is beyond the cellular hunger for the substance. Each of you, as you come forth into these bodies, are full of this Nonphysical Energy Stream that created you and that sustains you. You are spirit embodied in this flesh, blood, bone apparatus, but then, as you bang around for a while and you see disapproval in the eyes of so many, and you, every day, pick up something else that you push against, little by little you become familiar with disallowing the Energy Stream. All feel the diminishment, but some feel it more than others. Those who come forth with the intense decision that they will stay connected to the Stream, those who have come forth with very strong determination to express what they know about this Energy Stream, they suffer greatly when they choose vibrations that disallow it fully.

But almost nobody is talking about vibration. It would be a rare alcoholics meeting or drug counseling session where anyone would say to the one across the table, "Well, you know, you're holding thoughts that are keeping you vibrationally separated from who you really are." And yet, that is what is at the heart of it. And so, that void that they are feeling which is the void of joy, the void of clarity, the void of Energy, the void of life, that is the void they are trying to fill by buying one more thing and bringing it home or by utilizing a substance that distracts them, in this moment, from the things that cause them to push against.

When you utilize a drug or alcohol, your cork floats, in the beginning, because just like hypnosis or meditation, you are distracted from whatever thought that is holding you in the slower vibration. And so, when you're distracted from what is holding you there, your vibration raises. That's why they call it a high. This is the first thing that, as a counselor, you must accept so that you can convey it, vibrationally, even if you don't do it in words: What they are addicted to is feeling better. What they are addicted to is feeling better. What they are addicted to is the higher vibration. And, bless their hearts, they've been banging around until they found some way that they could facilitate that for themselves.

And then you say, "No. This is ultimately bad for you. It makes you do bad things. And so, we will take this method that you have found, that is the only method that you have been able to find for getting yourself into a higher vibration, we're going to take that away from you because it isn't good for you. We're going to label you and condemn you and scorn you." Much of the population is perfectly willing to be miserable, but some of you are less willing to be miserable.

Abisheck I would suggest going to a professional counselor or rehabilitation center for your particular addiction(s.) The people there are better equipped and knowledgeable on many subjects, especially addiction. Abraham-Hicks talks at times about addiction. I would also surf these threads. You may even find a few persons who have battled/ended their addictions. You must believe it will happen and it will. I wish you all the best in your recovery.

Also read many of these books such as the Secret, Napolean Hill books, Jack Canfield, Joe Vitale, Ernest Holmes. These books will give you great power to do whatever you set your mind to do.

Regards,

You have to look at what is tying you to those addictions. What are you escaping? People get addicted because they want to escape the pain of something. You need to deal with the pain in a constructive way to get over your addiction. I would seek help from someone who has overcome the same addiction, a support group or therapist. There is so much help out there.
