In this video segment, I reflect on the lessons garnered from William Glasser’s book, “Positive Addiction.” The most significant component of this book is found in understanding the difference between Positive and Negative Addiction. Negative Addiction is the resignation to a reality that “there is no hope”; whereas, Positive Addiction is committed to the notion “there is an answer.”
This segment provides clarity to the influences behind relapses in recovery or the reasons some people seem to always be stuck in their life; and, why others always seem to find a way to move forward in chaotic situations. This segment also makes a great case that self-care is a fundamental necessity for a life being impacted by adverse external influences.
