This can be due to a person wanting to relieve <strong>stress\u00a0<\/strong>such as taking their minds off what is going on in their life.<\/p>\n<p>Denial of addiction can prevent getting support and there is no magic wand to stop the behaviour without working at it.<\/p>\n<p>SLAA, GA are groups which can offer peer support and may be beneficial in sharing experiences.<\/p>\n<p>Counselling can help you to bring awareness to your behaviour pattern and life choices. Acknowledging your difficult feelings can be challenging but can offer a deep reward as you begin to know yourself better and start to build up your resillience to hidden <strong>stress<\/strong>. Exploring with your counsellor an alternative route, which provides stimulation, excitement and\u00a0reinforcement for change, can enable\u00a0positive behaviour and\u00a0 self value.\u00a0\u00a0Coral counselling Service offers proffessional\u00a0counsellors to those in need of addiction counselling in Essex.
