Emotional maturity comes with practice. Look at yourself with rigorous honesty and ask yourself when or where do you behave like a child. Do you sulk, stomp off when you don't get your way, keep quiet instead of voicing your opinion when asked, defy authority figures or institutions etc etc. Look at the situations and then work on responding in an adult way. We all have an inner child, it just depends how big it is. People who suffer with addictions are almost always very emotionally immature.
