Do you have an addictive personality?

Addicted to sex, drugs, alcohol, porn, gambling, shopping, dating, a boyfriend/girlfriend, prescription pills, the internet, videogames, food? Our technology has allowed us to become an all access culture causing some people to develop lifestyle addictions.

Are your behaviors, alcohol or drug use getting out of control?

More and more people are “acting out” in self destructive ways or medicating themselves with pills to deal with stress, anger, obsessions, impulses or feeling out of control.

Do you have difficulties with dating and relationships?

Many people are having a hard time connecting with others because they are stuck in the same bad habits, patterns and defenses.  In order to be more effective in relationships, we have to understand ourselves – our brains, our habits, our defenses, why we pick certain people and why we do what we do.

Are you obsessed with Hollywood, the entertainment industry, or nightclubs and partying?

There's a condition called Hollywood N.O.S. where an individual gets lost in a fantasy world needing validation from and defining themselves by the entertainment industry, media and/or the social nightclub scene & bar industry." These people often neglect their real lives and emotionally escape in a created fantasy world that often leads to problems with pills, alcohol, poor self esteem and little emotional development.
