subject: What To Do If You're Addicted To Adrenaline [print this page] Some people just can't help itSome people just can't help it. They're natural fun junkies and they're addicted to adrenaline. If you're one of those people, you'll know better than most that there comes a time when you need to reign in your adrenaline addiction. But, a bit like eating ever-hotter food, that's easier said than done. Here are some ideas to help you overcome your addiction to adrenaline.
Wean yourself off it gradually
Going cold turkey and shunning anything and everything is likely not an option. You'd be unbearable and would need really stoic friends to stand even the remotest chance of not getting your regular adrenaline fix.
If you can't beat them, join them
On the other hand, you may decide that you like the thrills and spills of adrenaline so much that you simply can't give them up. Some people are like that. If that's the case for you then it may be worthwhile seeking out similar adrenaline aficionados and joining their club.
Be present and aware
Quite often, adrenaline addiction is a substitute for not really paying attention to the things around you. The rush you get can be a substitute for enjoying the present moment - instead, you're looking forward to your next (even bigger) fix of fun. Take time out to notice what's happening around you. Whilst it might not be rushing by at a hundred miles an hour, you may find that it's equally fascinating. You won't know if you don't give it a try. Hypnosis for adrenaline addiction can help with this.
