ABOUT ADD/adhd
Attention deficit disorder is a neuro-biological condition that is genetically transmitted, and is present in individuals from birth. It cannot be acquired as one grows older, but it evolves over time. ADD affects about 5% of the general population and affects as high as 42% of addicts and alcoholics and 67% of addict/alcoholics with multiple addictions. ADD is caused by the inability of certain brain cells to effectively use dopamine?sometimes called the WD40 of the brain. The result of the ineffective neuro transmission in the brain is that the frontal lobes of the brain do not function as they should. The frontal lobes provide humans with the ability to wait and inhibit behavior. When the frontal lobes function normally, we can delay response to our environment, prevent the urge to escape, curb unproductive or dangerous behavior, and protect concentration for mental focus. The frontal lobes equip humans with working memory, a sense of time, planning, self-control, self-evaluation, verbal thought, motivation, some fine motor skills, the ability to learn from our mistakes, etc. Many physical and emotional problems may cause attention difficulties. And ADD-ers can pay attention to those things that interest them. But the hallmark symptoms of ADD are related to the inability to inhibit. So ADD is becoming more and more known as a problem primarily of "dis-inhibition" rather than attention. The resulting classic ADD's symptoms include impulsivity, distractibility, hyperactivity or hypoactivity, and disorganization. Most adults with ADD experience hyper-sensitivity. When coupled with the inability to organize and prioritize incoming stimuli and inputs, this sensitivity leads to the common feeling of overwhelm?a sense of drowning or living in a fog. But not to despair?children and adults with ADD have many positive traits including creativity, intelligence, intuitiveness, flexibility, humor, and more. Some of the common treatments for ADD after diagnosis include education, medication, structure, psycho-therapy, coaching, spirituality, nutrition, exercise, and the support of others with ADD.

ADD PRAYER FOR PEACE
God, grant me the grace to surrender
So I can have peace for today.
Take away my fears and worries,
Give me faith that all is okay.

You know my need to fret, to fear.
You know I always expect the worst.
I need more faith, more confidence,
To know your power is at work.

Today you have a plan for me.
And I know your plan is best.
So if I drift or wander or stray,
Draw me back into your loving nest.

Keep me focused on your presence.
Keep me full of joy and light.
Your plan for me is always best.
And your ways are always right.

Today, I'll watch your plan unfold,
I'll remember that you're working.
I'll reject the urge to brood and fret,
And find true peace in trusting.
