		<description><![CDATA[One of the common reasons I hear for why a women can’t go to treatment is they have children and they say I can’t leave my family.  This doesn’t apply just too single head of household women this also applies to women who have very supportive husbands, partners, family and friends.  After years of research and collecting data women feel guilt and shame that they failed and can’t do everything.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The first time someone said to me “Trust the Process” the thought that came to mind was what process?  Being blessed as I am today, knowing what I know today I do absolutely “Trust the Process”!   The process is allowing things to be just as they are not trying to manipulate them to be what he or she thinks is the right way.  ]]></description>

An addiction is anything that becomes a habit, typically through the subconscious mind.  The person starts off in control of whatever they do or use to not feel or think.
