Bad Addictions

Are you addicted to hurting and harming yourself in some kind of way? If you are, well, stop it! While the idea of simply telling someone to make a positive change in their life is about as reasonable as trying to tell a clogged drain to “just flow properly,” the direct approach does work from time to time. It was worth a try, right? But then again, the idea of being on an anti addiction web site probably means that you are not the addict in question. You most likely know a person who is addicted to something that is doing serious damage to their life.

It does not matter whether the person is addicted to a drug like meth, opium or crack cocaine, or if their “drug” of choice is alcohol, gambling or excessive amounts of sex. Any time an activity is done just because you feel as if you have to do it, it is an addiction. And if going through with this activity does some kind of damage to your work, school, emotional or social life, it can be classified as being a harmful addiction. And harmful addictions tend to be pretty pervasive – getting rid of them rarely involves something as simple as asking please.

So what about these bad addictions? Is there anything that a person who really cares can do about them? In some cases, bad addictions can be treated to the point where the person realizes how bad these activities are, and actually stops doing them. Unfortunately, what so often happens is that a person will “back slide” into old negative ways, the first time it becomes convenient to do so. Having a great psychological excuse like “stress” is a prime way to cover up the fact that they just want to do a particular thing, harmful or not.
