Personal ChangeAddictions and the Extra Sensitive Person
Below are two very useful articles I’ve found recently on both addictions and the extra sensitive persona. The first is from the amazing and wonderful set of articles on the Abraham-Hicks website, and the second is actually a whole series of articles on healing the ESP on the EFT website emofree. I’ve printed here a section from each, so you can get the gist of it, and then given you the link to go to the full article. You may need to register your email address on the Abraham-Hicks site in order to read the articles, but they are definitely worth it, especially if you love the Law of Attraction. Question: There are some members of my family that have a problem with alcohol. If they truly want to stop drinking, and they come to me, what do I tell them? Abraham: The most significant thing that you could do for anyone who is asking you, is to diffuse their trauma about it. We would diffuse any labels. We would explain to them that all who are physically focused have this powerful desire to feel good. You want, more than life itself, because it is life itself, to connect with that which is your Source. Some of you are born more sensitive to that vibration. You said about them, "You're too sensitive. You let things bother you too much." They were sensitive to things that they felt that they could not control, and they did not know how to choose the thoughts that allowed the Source Energy to flow. The more the Source Energy didn't flow, the worse they felt, because they came forth intending -- in a stronger way than others you might meet -- to be Teachers of that flow of Energy. And so, they discovered that the alcohol diffused their ability to focus, and in the diffusion of focus, they allowed more Connection. And as they allowed more Connection -- they felt better. We would say to them: "When you think those thoughts of condemnation about yourself, and you feel all of that guilt or grief, or self-condemnation, you are, in that thought, holding yourself apart from the vibration and the thought of your Source. Because your Source adores you. And when you choose to hate yourself rather than adore yourself, you've set up a wall of resistance. And under those conditions, I don't blame you for wanting a pill or a drug, or a drink of something, to soothe yourself from that. No one, especially someone as sensitive as you, could endure such disconnection." So, if we were talking to anyone who is wanting to relieve themselves of the tool that they had discovered -- that turned out to have side effects that they did not want -- the tool that was soothing their disconnection, we would teach them how to reconnect. But you can't do it unless you're willing to talk to them about Inner Being, about Source Energy, about Vibration. You must talk to them about Emotion. In other words, you can't do it by tippy- toeing around the Essence of who you all are. We would love them, love them, love them! We would love them when they're drunk. We would love them when they are high. We would love them when they're coming off of it. We would say, "It's alright. It's alright. It's alright. You are valid in your reason for being here. You are valid in your reason for this action. I understand what is happening to you. Let me talk to you about what I know." "You are a powerful being," we would say. "You are perfect in the eyes of Source, or All- That-Is, or whatever you're wanting to call that. You are a creator. You've come forth with very real intent. And when you love yourself the way you are loved by Source Energy, there is nothing better than that." That's the point we would make.

There’s more and more research to suggest people
with extra sensitive personas (ESP) are more inclined
to become addicts and have chronic illness. The
sensitive person uses the substance of choice as a
way of tranquilizing or numbing themselves against
the harsh world around them, or as a cushion to the
pains and hurts that they often suffer in childhood. If
these hurts are not healed, the habits become part of
their adult persona and turn into addictions and
chronic pain.
