ADDICTION: the reality

   ADDICTION 

Addiction is a psychological and physical inability to stop consuming a chemical, drug, activity, or substance, even though it is causing psychological and physical harm.

The term addiction does not only refer 

to dependence on substances such as 

heroin or cocaine. A person who cannot 

stop taking a particular drug or 

the chemical has a substance dependence.

Some addictions also involve an inability 

to stop partaking in activities, such as 

gambling, eating or working. In these 

circumstances, a person has a 

behavioral 

addiction.

Addiction is a chronic disease that can 

also, result from taking medications. The

overuse of prescribed opioid painkillers

for example, causes 115 deaths every 

day in the United States.

When a person experiences addiction, 

they cannot control how they use a 

substance or partake in an activity, and 

they become dependent on it to cope 

with daily life.

I AM SUGGESTING SOME STRATEGY 

TO DESTROY  ADDICTION ARE:-

Tolerance-:

Tolerance and withdrawal are key factors that contribute to addiction. They are strongly interconnected and are the main processes that got you addicted in the first place.2

 If people didn't develop tolerance and withdrawal, they would probably find it a lot easier to quit.

Tolerance is a physical and psychological process. When you experience an addictive substance or behavior the first time, it may be overwhelming, unpleasant even, or it may be mild and pleasurable. If the effect feels strong, you may feel there is no danger of you wanting to overdo it. If it is mild, it may seem harmless and innocent.

The more times the behavior is repeated, the less sensitivity you have to it, and the more you need to get the same effect. Drugs, such as alcohol and opiates, work on specific parts of the brain, creating physical tolerance. Behaviors, such as sex and gambling, produce feelings of excitement that get less intense over time.3 As tolerance develops, you may want to do more of the drug or behavior to get the same effect.

2.IF A PERSON MENTAL DETERMINATION IS QUITE STRONG. HE HAS TO FIGHT WITH HIS OWN EMOTIONS ITS QUITE DIFFICULT TASK BUT POSSIBLE ALSO.

3. Take Small Steps to Set Patterns.

4. Stay Away from Temptations that Help Feed Your Addiction or Bad Habits.

5. Finding something similar to your bad habit can help you easily replace it. If you only have the choice to give in to your habit or stay at an equilibrium, your habit will likely influence your choice. If you have two choices, one new choice and one old choice, you have a better chance at picking the new choice that will help you form a positive habit since it puts you at an elevated level compared to where you were before.
