Addiction isn\u2019t something that happens to you, right? Many people believe they won’t be affected by addiction. However, chances are that right now, you are consciously or unconsciously addicted to something. It doesn\u2019t necessarily have to be drugs, though. You could also be addicted to screen time, attention, sugar, coffee, energy drinks, sex, vaping, alcohol, or … Well, you get the picture.<\/span><\/p>\n You often find it hard to admit that you\u2019re addicted. Even when others try to point it out and highlight certain aspects of your behavior, you don’t see it. You tend to downplay it, thinking, \u201cIt\u2019s not that bad, is it?\u201d<\/p>\n Addiction causes a lot of damage. Struggling with addiction takes up a lot of time, attention, and energy. Being caught in addiction can lead to physical health problems, strained relationships, and a decline in overall well-being. Therefore, it’s important to learn how to handle addiction constructively and to take good care of yourself and others.\u00a0<\/p>\n How? I\u2019ll teach you step by step.<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”#Plan” button_text=”Go to action plan” button_alignment=”center” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.23.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”About” _builder_version=”4.16″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/wendyvanmieghem.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Pijl-in-roos-512-x-512-groen.png” title_text=”Pijl in roos 512 x 512 groen” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” width=”15%” module_alignment=”left” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ max_width=”513px” max_width_tablet=”” max_width_phone=”” max_width_last_edited=”on|tablet” module_alignment=”left” custom_margin=”|100px||||” custom_padding=”|0px||0px||” header_2_font_size_tablet=”40px” header_2_font_size_phone=”25px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ text_font=”||||||||” text_font_size=”18px” text_line_height=”1.8em” text_orientation=”justified” text_font_size_tablet=”16px” text_font_size_phone=”14px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” text_line_height_tablet=”1.8em” text_line_height_phone=”1.7em” text_line_height_last_edited=”off|phone” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n You\u2019ve already taken the first step by wanting to find out how to stop addiction. Good for you! If you want to recover from addiction, there\u2019s good news: for many people, it is definitely possible. But it does require your focused attention, time, and practice. It\u2019s also important to get to know yourself better on a deeper and constructive level: why do you do what you do? How does it work inside you? And what do YOU need to recover?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n One thing is certain: you must do the inner work yourself. No one else can do this for you. However, as soon as you are willing to put in the effort, much is possible! It begins with learning about the psychology of addiction. Next, you need to become more aware of how you\u2019ve dealt with yourself so far. Which patterns in dealing with your needs, emotions, tensions, and pain have led to your addictions? After all, dealing with addiction isn’t new to you. You’ve already developed all kinds of patterns in it, both consciously and unconsciously.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n When old patterns prove unhelpful, you’re faced with the challenge of learning to walk new paths. Step by step, you need to develop new strategies for dealing with addiction that are more effective and less destructive. It is also vital to remove the stinger(s) so recovery can happen\u2014 from the inside out. This way, you work towards a lasting behavioral change\u2014 durable and effective. If you don\u2019t do this, you’ll notice little to no progress at the bottlenecks, and sometimes your behavior may even worsen. Therefore, follow the step-by-step plan I’ve carefully put together for you. With each step, take the time to reflect: how does this work for me?<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ text_font=”||||||||” text_font_size=”18px” text_line_height=”1.8em” text_orientation=”justified” text_font_size_tablet=”16px” text_font_size_phone=”14px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” text_line_height_tablet=”1.8em” text_line_height_phone=”1.7em” text_line_height_last_edited=”off|phone” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n This step-by-step plan provides guidance and helps you navigate pitfalls, blind spots, and confusing moments.

The more trust you build, the more it becomes possible to offer a natural counterbalance to destructive patterns and habits, both in yourself and others. This enables you to make more focused choices in the moment and prioritize long-term well-being over short-term avoidance.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n It is crucial to begin with the basics: developing your inner balance. Without this balance, it\u2019s unsafe to overload yourself with intense emotions, feelings, pain, and tensions. When you have too little inner space, you lack an internal filter in contact and communication. As a result, emotions and comments can be received more harshly than intended by the other person.\u00a0That\u2019s why you need to naturally expand your inner space from within, so you can stay better balanced. I created the online training course Inner Balance<\/em> specifically for this purpose. The training has been available since 2012 and has been extensively tested and improved. Every person who has taken the online course as intended has experienced deeper peace and balance within a few weeks!<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/wendyvanmieghem.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Inner-balance-online-training-1.jpeg” alt=”Inner balance online training – Wendyvanmieghem.com” title_text=”Inner balance online training 1″ url_new_window=”on” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” width=”30%” custom_margin=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ text_font=”||||||||” text_font_size=”18px” text_line_height=”1.8em” text_orientation=”justified” text_font_size_tablet=”16px” text_font_size_phone=”14px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” text_line_height_tablet=”1.8em” text_line_height_phone=”1.7em” text_line_height_last_edited=”off|phone” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Join the self-paced 14-week online training course Inner Balance.
