What if everyone has one?

By Lynne Cory

What if we are all born with at least one addiction (approval, acknowledgment, rejection, abandonment, etc.) which often later turns into drugs, alcohol, food, smoking, spending, gambling or sex?

What if the addictions are where our lessons are created?  What if she needs approval and becomes a shopaholic to look her best for others she does not even know, he becomes a reckless gambler because he gets special treatment and acknowledgment when he enters the casino, she helps everyone in her circle to her own exhaustion so she will feel loved?  What if we all have something to learn about ourselves?
