Is Eliot Spitzer A Sex-Addict?

John Giordano, Founder and President of G & G Holistic Addiction Treatment Center, says Spitzer's behavior leads him to believe that the ex-governor of New York is an addict. "The sloppiness in how he went about it tells me his addiction was far beyond his control and subconsciously he wanted his destructive behavior to end." claims Giordano.

North Miami Beach, Fl. (PRWEB) March 14, 2008 -- John Giordano, Founder and President of G & G Holistic Addiction Treatment Center, says Spitzer's behavior leads him to believe that the ex-governor of New York is an addict. "The sloppiness in how he went about it tells me his addiction was far beyond his control and subconsciously he wanted his destructive behavior to end," claims Giordano.

When it comes to addiction most people conjure up visions of debilitated drugged-out people stumbling in the dark of night. "Addiction, although closely identified with drugs and alcohol, shows itself in many forms by many different people," says Mr. Giordano. He has treated people for drug, alcohol, food, gambling and sexual addiction.

An addict is on a constant quest for that "ultimate high" to relieve the stress, pain or emptiness they feel inside; or in some cases just to feel normal. The "high" can come in many shapes such as food-fest, a winning ticket or in Governor Spitzer's case, an orgasm. Giordano is confident that if the truth is told, it will show Spitzer's compulsive sexual behavior has been secretly going on for much longer that anyone realizes.

"It's the underlying issues that drive a person to these destructive behaviors that need to be addressed if a person is to get well," says Giordano. He believes it was the extreme pressure of his career government positions as a hard charging attorney general and now governor that pushed Spitzer over the edge.

Mr. Giordano will share with your audience the cause and effect of sexual addiction. He will also go into great detail as to the risk and dangers Spitzer took upon himself and his family. In addition, John will take the mystery out of the common misconceptions of addiction and dispel the myths by answering questions such as:

* What addictions are there

* Why is this not just a moral issue

* What are the tell-tale signs of addiction?

* What prevents people from recognizing they have an addiction

* How does brain chemistry play a role in addiction

* What can they do to help themselves and their families

* Where and how to get help
