For me, addiction is a choice we make that most times brings ruins and damages to us because of how we certainly finds it very hard to break away from those things we think its part of a life we need to live which helps makes us stay alive. And the most surprising thing we don’t know is that we are all victims of addiction because its not limited in this sense of understanding.
I mean, we feel so excited doing a thing because of the love 💕 for it or the satisfaction it brings to us at every interval we get into contact with them, but gradually, we are hooked, not having a way to break free and even the power to control ourselves. At this time and stage, we are already being controlled by their energies.
Addiction in my own understanding has become a choice that turned into being a disease due to how many who are addicted to the things that are dangerous to live are suffering so much without any cure , except they break away from what ever they are addicted to. This is a joke due to how many people are facing serious issues of living a normal life like those whose lifestyles are purely seen so natural.
Alcohol abuse, womanizing, excessive eating, doing drugs, watching movies at all times, games of all kinds, TikTok addiction and countless others. You start gradually and never know how to star away because I feel that there is a spirit that is attached to addiction, which is why we always go back to these things once we are hooked.
Although, we see social media as a platform where we create content to make a living, but many who are not creating any content there are staying on their phones from morning to night. The worst, being TikTok. How can a human being stay just scrolling their phones, watch all the people that has posted one fun 🤩 or the other? Should we call this “Depression” or just having fun 🤩?
I know of many people who are living on alcoholism. They either tell you that they are facing hard times and can not sleep 😴 in the night, so they needed to take a bottle or two of their choice of brand of beer 🍺 to be able to sleep. But then , the next day, they will woke up to the same problem glaring in their faces. You don’t have money 💴 to solve what ever problem you have, but you have the one for bottles of beers 🍺 every day in a week. This is alcoholism, a disease 🦠 and suffering many brought upon themselves that has no cure, except breaking away and staying free.
I see alcoholism, drugs and womanizing as the three (3) most dangerous addictions. Once you can not break free from any of these addiction, your life is practically heading into doom because they are very destructive. These three additions involves those connected to it to keep spending some huge sums of money because of the comfortability they find in them. And which gradually waste their lives.
I hear people say addiction is not easy to break away from , but that’s a very wrong notion. There is no addiction that can not be broken. I was once addicted to soda because of the satisfying feelings I get from them, especially Pepsi 🥤. I will always want yo enjoy a bottle of chilled Pepsi over a meal 🥘. And When I realized the harm I was doing to myself, I had to stop. Then, I started gaining lots of weight. Going for my sugar level checks told me to immediately quit. And not that I don’t drink soda again now, but maybe once in a month to feel energized.
In conclusion, we should at this time of the era know what we want to make out of life. We are only wasting time when we are involved in the things that can not benefit us in life, especially at this time of the era of Technology , Innovation and Artificial Intelligence. These three things has brought so many opportunities for this generation and those before this, who tries to catch up.
