Summary/Abstract: Addiction is a process which is rightly associated mainly with psychoactive andrisky substances, as well as various behaviours which “get out of control”. However,psychologists point at addiction to oneself and describe it as a situation in which theaddicted person lacks self-consciousness and consequences of his or her own deeds.Changes, introduced in order to avoid addiction to oneself, show also need to reformand improve a style of life especially when it is too stiff or unilateral. Addiction tooneself or authentic life – it is a choice between lack of influence on one’s life on theone hand and autonomous and authentic personality on the other.
