No addiction may be good or bad...Since you wanted my definition of addiction, here it is "Addiction is when you find it hard to leave things" . I really don't like leaving my computer..Stuff like that. My dad used to smoke a lot but one day he said " I don't want to smoke" and he had quit. When I asked him on how difficult it was to quit, he said it was the easiest thing in his life! Give me something to do like hang out with friends or play some sports and I will leave the computer there. That doesn't work with all people though...

An addiction is a problem that people have within their minds. Say there is a man, who smokes cigarettes. He smokes 10 cigarettes per day. He is used to smoking 10 cigarettes a day. If he suddenly stopped, he would panic. He would feel he would 'need' the cigarettes, that is when you are addicted to something, such as cigarettes.
Now say there is a kid, who loves going online, and his mom smokes. He makes a bet with his mom. "Mom, I'll stop going on the internet all day if you stop smoking!". Then five days in, the mom decides to have a cigarette, losing the deal. The boy was not really addicted to the internet as his mom thought. |

Hello everyone, The other day I was talking to a couple of my friends and as I was nagging them to stop smoking one of them said that my nagging too is sort of an addiction like their smoking. I mean the fact that the habit of nagging is considered an addiction. That set me thinking that for all we know, Everything that we do might be an addiction, our computers,books, videogames, Junk food. I totally agree that Iam addicted to food,books, talking and games. Dont you think that posting too is an addiction in a way? Freaky but so cool. I'd love to hear about what you define as an addiction and I would love to hear yours Cheers Addiction is something where you want to do something and you do the opposite. You are not in control of what you do. This is applicable in your case. The more you try to become something else you become the opposite... But still its possible to come out of addiction with some effort... |
