What makes one person able to kick an addiction, while another suffers repeatedly?


Question:
I'm speaking of addiction in general... drugs, sex, gambling, etc.

Answers:
Hello......While every case is different, I think it has to do with how long the person has been addicted. Even though they may have an enormous desire to kick their habit and been successful in doing so, the years they have spent being addicted have actually taken their ability to feel good away from them ..................permanently. They think that once they are free of their habit that everything will be wonderful and that they will feel just fine but the brain's chemistry has changed so much that the recovering addict reverts back to their old ways just to feel good again. It's tough to kick any addiction . but I have answered your question with only what I think about a persons' addiction to drugs. As to the others, sex and gambling, I think that a way a person has been raised and what they have been exposed to determines whether or not they become addicted to sex and all it takes is one big win at the track or casino for you to think that you are a winner. These activities provide a rush of adrenalin which is as addicting as any drug. They also say love is a drug providing as many highs and lows as any drug or activity you can name. Personally, I'd rather take my chances with this one ! Take care .......peace..........
Some people are weak and some people are strong. Plain and simple!
