If you’re dealing with addiction of any sort, I just want to say well done.

Because despite you battling this addiction, you still manage to wake up each morning and live your life.

So I’m proud of you for that. And I’m proud of you for clicking on a video to help you find out solutions to your addiction.

That sounds strange I know, because you likely don’t feel proud of yourself for having this addiction but I know that after this video you’ll be able to beat it. No doubt about it.

The way this video is going to work is we’re going to cover a brief story from me, 3 explanations of addiction 1 from psychoanalysis, 1 from neuroscience and 1 from evolutionary psychology then we’ll cover the 2 solutions to any addiction. So if you want to get straight to the solutions feel free to skip to them in the timestamps, but obviously I’d recommend you watch the whole video as the 3 psychological explanations will give you much needed context.
