addictions
There are many types of addictions.
Some types of addiction that we think of like illegal drugs, alcohol, and gambling are because we hear about them all of the time. There are other addictions though, that we rarely hear of like food addictions, prescription drug addictions, and sexual addictions. At Champion Christian Community Counseling of Tomball, we can help you to identify and deal with many different types of addictions, even if you aren't sure if what you are dealing with is considered an addiction or not.
