Addressing the Issues:
First of all, No One in their Right State of Mind, suddenly decides to Start A Major Addiction! People do NOT want to be Dependent on something that seriously damages their Health & Costs Them LOTS OF MONEY!!! That just doesn't make ANY SENSE!!! It usually begins from serious Stress, Anxiety, Trauma, or Simple Peer Pressure!
A person gives into a Bad Substance to try to Escape from the above issues. However, in Trying to Escape, they open the doorway to much MORE STRESS in the near future. And, sooner-or-later, THAT STRESS, will be very MUCH HARDER to Overcome & Deal With! So, in the end, there is No Escape from Reality - JUST MORE SERIOUS PROBLEMS!!!
People that get Peerpreasured into trying things to make them Fit In or Seem Cool, are prone to Become Addicted to those things afterward!
Peer Pressure usually goes something like this: "Hey, you've got to try this - this is Awesome! Besides, nobody but us, have to know... Come'on, just TRY IT! What's the matter...? Don't you Trust Me!?! It's not going to hurt you... It's Really Cool!"
Then a person gets Highly Pressured and eventually Gives In! Afterward, they realize that is was kind of Exciting & FUN to do something that was Bad or Forbidden! So, then they get an extra Rush by Living on the Edge, but then, it becomes much easier to just Go Back for More!
The problem with Going Back for More is that once a person does something more than Once, they will start to easily Accept it into their LIFE! That is when they get Used to It, and then very Dependent on It! Thus, a Terrible & Expensive Addiction has been born that is very Bad for their Health & State of Mind! So, ALWAYS WALK AWAY when someone says. "Just Try It!"
Remember this much: If the person that is turning someone onto an Addiction had to ALWAYS PAY FOR & COMPLETELY SUPPLY THE SUBSTANCE OF THE ADDICTION to the one they introduced to it, then they would NEVER Do It! No one wants to be RESPONSIBLE for someone else's Bad Habits! And, No One Else is ever going to PAY FOR the EXPENSIVE Costs! Many times, people get other people Addicted to their own Addiction, because they want the other person to Help Them Get It... Those are the Cold Hard FACTS!
The Most Important Topics No One Wants To Talk About:
It is very important for Everyone, including Family & Friends of the person with an addiction, to completely realize that "Tuff Love" is NOT going to do anything but make the addiction even Worse! The problem is not the addiction itself, but what is causing the person to seek out an Alternate Distraction to take their focus off of what is really hurting them inside. So, finding out that answer first, and doing what is necessary to Heal Their Pain, is the ONLY WAY to ever STOP the addiction.
Now, for the ones with an addictive habit:
What is a Real Addiction?
If you are just sitting around and getting drunk watching porn videos, then you are very truly unhappy in several areas of your current life. The best way to actually understand this is by completely reading the following:
Briefly Trying, Checking Out, or being Curious about something is NOT an Addiction!
Let's say that you are Single and Young... You are just coming into your own understanding and true recognition of things. You are very curious, and just want to see what is going on in the world, because in some areas, you may feel a little nervous, anxious, and unprepared. It is natural to be interested in what you have not seen first hand and verified yet... So, you are off the hook. However, to let it become an obsessive addiction means there is something truly lacking in your life.
If you are a person that turns to Drugs, or Alcohol and cannot STOP, then you are trying to escape something that you are currently avoiding dealing with, or you are covering up the pain or remorse from something that has traumatically happened in the past, and you are trying to forget... However, you can NOT run away forever! You must view our Overcoming Major Trauma page, and Learn to Accept what has happened & Let it Go! You will NEVER STOP HURTING until you do.
SEX is the same way... It's an outlet of massive Mental, Spiritual, and Physical Focus, which allows a person to lose their self in that very moment, while also feeling more Powerful, Respected, Vibrant, Free, and even In Control of the situation at hand... Yet, at the same time as their Climatic Pleasure - it is but a very brief moment of exchange that makes them feel this way... Not their way of living their actual Life, itself. So, Sex Addiction will NEVER Fulfill Your True NEEDS!
These areas become addictive ways of trying to Cope, for those that are truly Sad, Hurt, Lonely, or just downright Depressed about the LACK of what they truly NEED in their everyday life. So, people try to do things that seem more Exciting or Pleasurable to make up for what they currently do not have. In other words, they search for a Distraction!
Some people may Gamble or Eat too Much! Others LOCK their self in a Fantasy World of Constant Social Media or Video Games! And some, do Several of these things to Always keep them Completely Preoccupied from dealing with their own Inner Feelings, Hopes, and True Desires! Only the truly WISE people in society, have Good Healthy Hobbies, instead of relying on Bad Addictions!
People form such Bad Addictive Habits because in doing these things, it helps them to forget about what they REALLY WANT TO BE DOING IN LIFE!!! However, while they are completely wasting all of their Precious Time & Money on them, they could be achieving their Actual Goals & Following their Dreams!!! Yet, so many do NOT truly realize that this is actually really the case, and they continue on with them as their very unhealthy Habitual Addictions.
Even when they become much better in the areas that they were once LACKING, and are more Successful & Secure in their ventures, they have still become very accustomed to using their addictive habits, and always having these Vices there... So, they are now, Very Hard Habits to Break!
Maybe they are Married now and have decent jobs, and beautiful children, but they still get taken in by what they always originally did. Those old bad habits are like little demons now, that will just not easily go away!
The Facts are, if they fall back on ANY of these things, then the person their self has issues far deeper than they consciously realize. You see the use of ANYTHING to Escape your own Reality at ANY POINT, is an Outcry of your inner self for Help... Yet, it cannot be addressed by avoiding the direct need for finding and dealing with the issue itself.
So, when people do these things, they are really running away from the true issues of their own lives - instead of facing them head-on. They then become very addicted to these habits that will never fulfill their needs and they can never get enough of these bad habits to ever do so... So, they will then search out for even more addictive ways to cope... Because one Bad Habit usually leads to another and another. And, it's all over a quest to find something that will help them cope.
This, is the Ultimate LIE in Life & Illusion of Fantasy, for NOTHING can fulfill your needs in Life, but your own True Hopes, Goals, and Sincere Dreams!!! No one is going to LIVE Your LIFE for You! So, it is up to YOU to Conquer the things that Hold You Back & Be FREE!!! Everything that you have ever wanted can be YOURS if you just Get Up & Go Get It... So, it's Time to Get A MOVE ON!!!
Remember: NO ADDICTION WILL EVER DO ANYTHING BUT HURT YOU & HOLD YOU BACK FROM YOUR REAL TRUE SELF... So, be your TRUE SELF & REALLY LEARN TO LIVE - YOUR LIFE!!!
Antidepressants - Pain Killers - Acid Reflux - Sleep Aids
Answer: Real Addiction is ANYTHING that a person has begun to constantly Crave in an Everyday or Almost Everyday Scenario! It is when that Something, stays in your mind throughout your daily routines. When you cannot wait to do it again! And, when you feel very Anxious to the need of having to have it! So, if you cannot wait to have that Drink After Work, or to Check & Post on your Social Media, maybe it's your next Snack or Meal, it could be a Video Game, that next Sexual Experience, or even Drugs... No matter what the case, you have become very addicted to it!
Addiction is something that takes the place of doing Normal daily routines and having plenty of Real Life every day Healthy experiences with Family & Friends. In short: A Distracting Waste of Time, which prevents a person from actually LIVING their Life in the Natural State of Being!
Now for the Hard-hitting Wrap-up: The best way to beat an addiction is to Never Start! Don't even TRY something that has been proven to be Addictive! If you ever want to have a GOOD LIFE, then you must realize that YOUR TIME is the Most Valuable Thing you will ever have... So, DON'T WASTE IT! Spend it WISELY by Studying & Doing What It Takes to Acheive Your Dreams! Think of the Money, Health, Stress, and even State-of-Mind that you will save in doing so. Do NOT waste one moment of your LIFE on ANY Addiction! Because ANYTHING that takes your direct TIME & FOCUS away from you doing what you must do to achieve your real dreams is just HOLDING YOU BACK - all that much more! If you really want to ENJOY yourself in the Real World, then you have to WORK at being a SUCCESS! Get that Job Promotion! Learn a New Skill! Practice at becoming Better at what you already do! Make EVERY SECOND COUNT!!! If you are wasting your time on Alcohol, Drugs, Porn/Sex Addiction, Too Much Social Media, Video Games, Gambling, Excessive Eating, or ANYTHING that uses up the Very Valuable Time that you have, then you are NOT getting the job done! Like the old saying of "The Devil Makes Work for Idle Hands..." So, DO NOT EVER LET YOURSELF BECOME IDLE... WORK ON YOUR GOALS & BECOME YOUR DREAM!!!
