I am addicted to alcohol and the internet. I promised my husband and family that I would stop drinking, but now I kill all of my time online. I'm a 30 yr old dental student. Do you think the discipline of martial arts can help me overcome my addictions?
Martial Arts are first and foremost an exercise in mental discipline, which manifests itself in the physical form that is studied. As you advance in your studies, you achieve the belief in yourself that will allow you to overcome your addiction. First, and most importantly, though, you have to truly want to leave your addiction behind - without dedication to that goal, any attempt at overcoming will fail. Good luck to you
