Dissociation Anonymous has found that behind every addiction lurk unmet needs from childhood. We who have failed to get our childhood needs met shunt these still-living needs into unhealthy and dissociative behavioural patterns. People who had their childhood needs met do not overindulge in chemical substances, food, unhealthy relationships, sex, or inappropriate work or fantasy, because they love themselves and resolve their present needs through healthy, conscious avenues. Addictions are unconscious—and we who have grieved our losses do not need to play out these unconscious patterns in our lives and cease to re-live them in dtysfunctioning groups.
