Addiction


The word addiction is defined and used in many different ways, sometimes jokingly, like I say I am addicted to chat. True addiction is actually a disease, it is a state where there is a strong and harmful need to regularly have something or do something. Strong refers to something that a person can not stop from doing or resist the urge to do it. Harmful pertains to physical, mental or social harm to the person or harm to the people around them. People who have addiction sometimes fail to recognize the harm it causes them because it is masked by the pleasure they get.

Habit is not necessarily an addiction but if it becomes harmful and uncontrollable then it is an addiction. If what you say or do harms people around you or push people away then it is probably an addiction. If it destroys relationship then you definitely have a problem. It has been said that some people have addictive personalities or tendencies and they have certain identifiable characteristics.

These traits are:
> Compulsive behaviour
>Lack of self control
> Refusal to take responsibility
>Tendency towards multiple vices
>Insecurity
>Inability to make a commitment

If you see these traits then beware. If you are this person with addictive personality and if you admit to it then you are likely to succeed in controlling it. If it is uncontrollable then you should seek help, NOW.

Basing on the above I do not have an addictive personality. Thank goodness but I wouldn't mind trying to be addicted to someone.

Thanks Sherlock, yeah you are right he might get rehabilitated but that doesn't mean he will stop but it will be in its proper place.
