The path of independence. Internet, relationship, work, food, games, alcohol

weaknesses, addictions, bad habits - each of us has something to remember. At the same time, we are sure that only drugs, alcohol or gambling cause a truly painful dependence, not suspecting that the Internet, relations with loved ones, intimacy, food, work, money and many other things can also take possession of a person. How to get rid of enslaving dependence power? We are not always able to even formulate this issue for ourselves. How and why is it developing? And what if we or our loved ones were captured? The book helps to understand itself, abandon false stereotypes and find the way to liberate, fullness and joy of life.

to a modern person, it is important to know and understand the nature of dependence, because some of its species in our culture are not only not considered destructive, But even, on the contrary, they are revered, for example, a strong involvement in work (workaholism) and strong attachment to loved ones (co -dependence). Nevertheless, all these problems encouraged or condemned by people will always have common features.

It is important to know that human biochemistry and psychology are arranged so that any addiction can develop dependence over time. And due to the protective reactions of the psyche (primarily the mechanism of “denial”), a person will still not recognize the problem. So, indulging in our addiction or abuse, we walk along the blade of the knife: someone’s psyche will protect him from the transition to the stage of dependence, but someone’s-no.

The book presents the program of overcoming the dependence, which is addressed to believers people. This problem is not solved only by spiritual means because it is in the field of psyche. Dependent actions are not amenable to human control, and to blame, to shame him, demanding “pulling yourself together”, is completely useless. Fortunately, knowledge of different types of dependence is becoming increasingly accessible in church circles and priests, faced with chronic violation of the commandments and chronic self -destructive behavior, more often take control of the dispatch functions and redirect parishioners to competent psychiatrists, consultants, into self -help groups of 12 steps ".
