The illusion of dissociation is the label of addict or alcoholic. Dissociation finally creates addiction and really addiction fails to exist until it is acknowledged as the addict/alcoholic. This building of the addictive personality is solely the result of dissociative thought ...I wish to escape from something, some thought, some repeated action. some trauma. These repeated action of unresolved escapism fail to work as a form of resolution spawning the addict , alcoholic as an entity in itself.Neatly avoiding the roots of addiction dissociation. This constructed new personality of addict/alcoholic exists as a separated personality. My name is....and I am an alcoholic/addict cements in place the displaced personality disorder and fails to take into account the dissociative disorder

Parental Roots is written to provide greater professional understanding for those who work with addicted parents/caregivers and their children — child welfare, juvenile justice, and alcohol and drug abuse professionals, who now need to closely collaborate, in some cases, for the first time with the parental roots system of recovery. Doing this will require a more thorough understanding of the terms utilised dissociation, the ability to identify and access services across systems, and the development of new services for treatment and training. The insider knowledge on families Who Get High has exercised us to use with our course members as we begin the process of motivating and engaging high-risk families/caregivers who are also challenged by the addiction of parental dissociation to unobtainable anarchic solutions.

When you take an addictive drug for the first time — nicotine, let's say — a new agent begins to bud around that source of pleasure (i.e., the neurotransmitters that flood your brain while smoking). The agent starts out small and weak. But the more you feed it, the bigger it grows, until there are many neurons, many modules, and even other brain-agents under its influence, feeding off the nicotine and craving it in ever larger doses, co-opting your planning and reasoning skills so it can scheme about how to get more of it. 
 
 
This process, of course, is extremely adaptive for us, as evolved organisms — but only when the pleasure corresponds to something of survival or reproductive value: food, sex, social status, mastery of physical skills. The fact that our brains are capable of growing agents dedicated to pursuing food and sex is essential to our survival. It's only in the modern (super-stimulating) environment that we get into trouble. 
 
 
This American Life did a nice segment on addiction a few years back, in which the producers — seemingly on a lark — asked people to personify their addictions. "It was like people had been waiting all their lives for somebody to ask them this question," said the producers, and they gushed forth with descriptions of the 'voice' of their inner addict: 
 
 
"The voice is irresistible, always. I'm in the thrall of that voice." 
 
 
"Totally out of control. It's got this life of its own, and I can't tame it any more." 
 
 
"I actually have a name for the voice. I call it Stan. Stan is the guy who tells me to have the extra glass of wine. Stan is the guy who tells me to smoke." 
 
 
Note that this isn't literal speech, as in an auditory hallucination. Instead, the 'voice' is simply an agent whose influence is accessible to introspection, and thus capable of being put to words, as an imaginative/interpretive gloss. That we call them voices is simply a testament to the high level of abstraction at which these agents operate.

Totally out of control. It's got this life of its own, and I can't tame it any more.
