Crystals for Addiction Recovery

What is Addiction?

What is addiction?When looking at crystals for addiction recovery we must first identify exactly what addiction is.  When the word addiction is used it is often associated with illegal drugs or being an alcoholic.  However, there are so many addictions it would be near impossible to cover them all here.  The official definition according to Oxford dictionaries is:

“the fact or condition of being addicted to a particular substance, thing, or activity”

On the surface some addictions may not seem to be an issue such as an addiction to exercise.  The issue becomes clear when you see how it negatively affects other aspects of their life.  Addiction puts focus so heavily on one area of your life the other areas are then neglected.  On top of this many addictions are also extremely harmful to health.

Most addiction stems from an attempt to escape from experiencing an aspect of reality the person if finding painful; physically, emotionally or both.  Even if the original pain that was being escaped from no longer exists, physical reliance can then make it increasingly difficult to recover from the addiction.

How Crystals for Addiction Can Help Recovery

Hematite

One of reasons addiction is so hard to overcome is the withdrawal symptoms.  Mental, emotional and physical symptoms can be extreme and knowing that all you need to do to stop them is to return to the addictive substance can easily create a seemingly impossible cycle to get out of.  Hematite is great for withdrawal symptoms, easing them meaning staying away from the substance you are addicted to that bit easier.
