	Addictions Month
	November

When you think of addictions, you probably picture the really SERIOUS ones -- alcoholism, drug use, and overeating. But other addictions can be just as damaging. Are you addicted to work -- sacrificing your personal life in favor of career achievement? How about SHOPPING -- do you find that you can't walk out the front door without buying something? Some people are even addicted to ACTIVITY -- mistakenly equating "busy" with "productive." All of us harbor some addictive behaviors. But it becomes a problem when your addiction affects your quality of life -- causing clutter, eating up your free time, and making you unhappy.
