http://abcstrength.com/2018/08/27/how-to-break-free-from-an-addiction/ 10. Celebrate your success Lastly, don’t forget to celebrate your success. This is a difficult hurdle and you just overcame it. Do something nice for yourself when you meet the goals you’ve made, no matter how small. Kicking an addiction is incredibly tough work, and you deserve to be rewarded. |
http://abcstrength.com/2018/08/27/how-to-break-free-from-an-addiction/ 9. Mark your progress It’s necessary to mark your progress and know how far you have progressed. Success also makes the brain release dopamine which makes you happy and wants to progress further. This is one of the reasons successful people stay motivated and keep on being successful and vice versa, true for unsuccessful people. You can get a calendar and mark each day you don’t do a bad habit. |
http://abcstrength.com/2018/08/27/how-to-break-free-from-an-addiction/ 8. Get Professional help Sometimes it is just too difficult to stop alone. This is a helpless state which means you may need external support. You can talk to your spouse, partner, a trusted friend, or someone in a position of authority. These people will provide support, help you stay motivated and help you track your progress. |

It might be fitness, taking up a new hobby, cooking, or hanging out with friends. Joining a new club, sports team, or other kinds of community group will help you make new friends and start a new chapter of your life in which addiction is not a part of. Positive social interactions can stimulate the release of neurochemicals which elicit feelings of happiness and satisfaction without the need for drugs. |

You can also read Fitness Basics, Start with these 10 Things First. Fitness releases endorphins and dopamine in our brains which makes us happy. This is a really good habit with lots of benefits that can replace your addiction. Keep in mind you can be addicted to fitness as well, but in my opinion, it’s better and more rewarding to be addicted to fitness. |
http://abcstrength.com/2018/08/27/how-to-break-free-from-an-addiction/ 5. Stay away from your triggers Stay away from the people, places, and things that make you want to go back to your old habits. You might need to construct a completely new routine for a while until the edge wears off a bit. |
http://abcstrength.com/2018/08/27/how-to-break-free-from-an-addiction/ 4. Get your environment ready Remove reminders of your addiction from your home, car, and workplace. Get rid of all the objects that go along with the habit, as well as other items that remind you of the habit You can replace these items that make you feel good such as good books, music, films, using the internet and so on. Also, you might want to try redecorating your bedroom, rearranging the furniture, or just buying a few new throw pillows. Changing your environment will give you the feeling of having a fresh start. |
http://abcstrength.com/2018/08/27/how-to-break-free-from-an-addiction/ 3. Replace your urge with something else Why not just replace your habit with something else. Since we know each time we do a bad behavior, there is a dopamine shot, we can just change this bad harmful habit with a good habit that will give us dopamine shots. For example, anytime you feel like smoking do exercise, listen to music, whatever it is that makes you happy. |
http://abcstrength.com/2018/08/27/how-to-break-free-from-an-addiction/ 2. Start small Deciding to quit all at once is very difficult and almost impossible. If possible erase the word “quit” from your mind. Tell yourself you’re just going to do fewer of the bad habit as much as possible. For example, if you smoke three times a day, you can start by reducing it to one. After a month or two reduce it to once in two days. After a while once a week. This goes for all undesirable habits. In a short time, you will realize you have little or no urge for the habit. |
http://abcstrength.com/2018/08/27/how-to-break-free-from-an-addiction/ 10 Steps to Break Free from an Addiction 1. Decide to quit It is necessary to decide to quit. No matter the amount of help you get if you don’t decide and try to quit then nothing else will work. Note down the negative consequences of your habits, what people in your life are affected by your decisions. For example, smoking is the primary cause of Lung cancer. You can note this down. Then note down the positive things that will happen if you quit. For example, good health, better productivity and so on. |
http://abcstrength.com/2018/08/27/how-to-break-free-from-an-addiction/ An addiction is when you have no control over what you are doing, taking or using. It is a helpless state. Common addictions are gambling, smoking, drinking, drugs, sex, money, internet, phone. In fact, you can be addicted to anything including fitness. It’s easy to say ‘stop smoking’, “stop drinking” but in reality, it’s not easy to stop. The Science of Addiction To break an addiction, it’s necessary to understand how addiction works. This will help you to know how to break free from your addiction. Addiction occurs when we do a habit and there is dopamine release in our brains which makes us feel good and what us to do the habit again. This is known as “Positive Reinforcement”. For example, for every cigarette, there is a dopamine shot which makes you feel good and makes you want to do it again. This dopamine release and positive reinforcement pathways are what leads to addiction. Now, you get dopamine shots not by the adaptive interactive behavior around you, for example, doing exercise but by consuming drugs or whatever habit triggers the addiction. People with addiction don’t live in the same world the rest of us do. Their brain is not responding to the same things the rest of us are responding to. Now that you understand how addiction works, let’s teach you how to break free from it. |

Hello Fellow Webmasters. I need your advice on ways and how to improve my new website www.abcstrength.com |
“The myth that one or two drinks a day are good for you is just that – a myth. This study shatters that myth.” The findings were broadly welcomed by scientists and NGOs as a decisive statement on the impact drinking has on society. The authors of the research, published in the journal The Lancet, noted their efforts did not take in all aspects of alcohol consumption. Ample data were not available for alcohol-related violence and traffic accidents, or for the illicit production and consumption of alcoholic drinks. The findings have ramifications for public health policy and have prompted calls for government action to make a serious dent in the population-level consumption of alcohol. http://abcstrength.com/2018/08/25/drinking-alcohol-is-unsafe-global-study-finds/ |
The findings emerge after another report found the drinks sector in the UK relies on people drinking above government limits for nearly 40 percent of its revenues. Official guidelines currently state that to keep alcohol health risks low, it is safest to avoid consuming more than 14 units a week – about seven pints of lager – on a regular basis. However, the UK’s chief medical officers have previously stated that despite this allowance, there is “no safe level of alcohol consumption” – a point that has been reinforced by this study “There is a compelling and urgent need to overhaul policies to encourage either lowering people’s levels of alcohol consumption or abstaining entirely,” said Dr. Emmanuela Gakidou, who also worked on the new research. http://abcstrength.com/2018/08/25/drinking-alcohol-is-unsafe-global-study-finds/ |
http://abcstrength.com/2018/08/25/drinking-alcohol-is-unsafe-global-study-finds/ “With the largest collected evidence base to date, our study makes the relationship between health and alcohol clear – drinking causes substantial health loss, in myriad ways, all over the world,” said Dr. Max Griswold from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, one of the study’s lead authors. They estimated that one drink a day increases the risk of developing an alcohol-related disease including heart diseases, cancer, diabetes, and tuberculosis by 0.5 percent. This shot up to 7 percent for those having two drinks a day, and 37 percent for five drinks. |
Giving up drinking completely is the only way to avoid the health risks associated with alcohol, according to a major new study. Alcohol-related problems kill around 7 percent of men and 2 percent of women every year, and drinking is the leading cause of death and disability for people aged 15-49. The researchers covered 195 countries between 1990 and 2016 and collected data from hundreds of other studies. http://abcstrength.com/2018/08/25/drinking-alcohol-is-unsafe-global-study-finds/ |
It seems obvious right? You should keep fit but why? Well keep on reading and you will have an idea why. A lot of people go through life stressed out each day, it might be due to long hours at work, relationship issues, marital issues, financial issues, academics, whatever it may be. These result in most people being stressed out. When you combine these with the poor eating habits of most people, over time these results in a state of poor health, which might be in the form of weight gain or obesity, depression, apathy, gastrointestinal disorders like ulcers, and cardiovascular disorders such as high blood pressure, heart attack, heart failure and so on if not checked.

You have probably heard that high blood pressure isn’t good for you but why is it bad and why should you worry. High blood pressure is when your blood pressure is equal to or higher than 140/90mmhg. In medical terms, this is known as Essential Arterial Hypertension. Normal is when your blood pressure is below this value. Optimal is less than 120/80mmhg.
