Have you ever had an addiction?
Question:
Answers:
Yes,I have an addictive personality.I look for things to attach myself to.It is a bad method of trying to come to grips with things.
The question is generally thought of as drug and alcohol problem.I can tell you that it is more involved than that.I have been addicted to exercise,friends,cigarettes and other things.
I over-exercised to the point of darn near wearing out my hip joint.I had to have the exercise for some reason.
I have smoked cigarettes to the point that I could not stand another one.I was sick of them,but within a few hours,I had a few more.
It is always bad in the long run.Freedom is the ability to choose and addiction is a form of captivity.
It comes down to control--do I want it controlling me or do I want to control it?
Here is something else that I have noticed,different people are addicted to different things and it goes deep down.It goes to a personality dis-order within the person.
drugs alchohol,sex, food, anything really that you can do to an extreme. Ive been trying to figure out why I get so addicted to certain things and in knowing why that has been what has changed my life.
I had an addiction to percocet. It was good at the time, but in reality it was a really bad thing to do. My friends and family tried to get me to stop, but it was so bad at one point to where I would go to the hospital and fake a broken ankle or something just to get them. I also knew people that sold them. And I also took halves or quarters just to get that rush and numbness. That was a really hard thing to get off of, but finally I did it.
I'm addicted to shopping. If I can't go shopping at least once a week I get real crabby. Shopping doesn't mean buying, so I don't spend too much money. I just love shopping.
