How Interest Becomes Addiction Without You Noticing

You just woke up one day early in the morning and the next thing you say is i give up on smoking, at that very moment you are very sincere of not smoking again because there is this thing in you that triggered your saying and the courage to even make you say it out loud after coming to a conclusion but even after all these, two hours later, you are already seeing yourself smoking again despite the making up of mind saying you wont smoke again, that is the real name which is ADDICTION. Is this the person fault finding himself or herself doing what has been said won’t happen again? Not at all.

Before addiction will actually come in, it will first start with interest, you cannot just get addicted to something that you didn’t have interest in before or at the beginning, just like saying oh i love playing football video game which is FIFA, i wish i can get a play station, this is an interest. So now you eventually got the play station and almost everytime you are playing the video game and it has become part of you and this is now leaving the stage of interest it has now gotten to a stage which you can’t do without and since you derive pleasure in doing that you will just want that to make you feel comfortable even if it is causing harm or damage you wont quickly see the effect but others can see it on time.

Addiction can also start as a choice just like i said interest but at the long run if choice has been hijack but can one actually be free from addiction since it is what the body find as comfort and relief, I think my answer for the question is YES, but there are some steps required to be able to survive addiction and be free from it finally.

Imagine someone who is addicted to smoking and cannot do without smoking in a single day, why is that possible? That is because there is still easy access to those things that is causing addiction. So the first thing that can be done to an addicted person is to change the environment entirely, if it is an environment where smoking and selling of drugs are much then the person has to vacate the place and move to a different environment that do not accept that kind of act then gradually it will start reducing the urge even though it is not easy but that is why it is a gradual process.

Another way to fight addiction is by changing routine and when i say routine is if you are always dedicating 5 hours to the thing which you love doing most you can be reducing the time frame to 2 hours and doing it constantly before you know it you are already getting used to the new style and that is how most even get over addiction. It can’t be handled alone but once shared it is easy to overcome…
