What is the most difficult addiction to kick? Some say heroin. Cigarette smokers will tell you nicotine is the hardest to beat. Will our consumaholic tendencies be more difficult to recover from than both of these?





Our sickness is leading to obesity, cancer, and depression. The planet is the enabler and it, too, is suffering. We need help, and quick. T





he situation requires a speedy shift in mass behaviour. We need to kick the habit.





We all consume in order to survive. Over the past few decades we have become addicted to over- consuming. We make our purchases not to survive, but to satisfy other less visible, less rational needs.





We need a program to get us back on the healthful path of sustainability, limits, and contentment. If someone is addicted to a drug you don't tell them they are harming themselves and their family so, "JUST QUIT!"





The problem is bigger than that, and 12 step programs such as Alcoholics Anonymous reflect this fact.





An addiction-afflicted individual may require a program and a supportive community to assist in recovery.
