Addiction

Have you ever sat and thought of all the different addictions one could have? The world is full of things that we could become addicted to. Some may be the easy things such as chocolate or TV or Candy Crush. But then there are things that people seem to think they have to justify the addiction and deny that they have an addiction, of course, first that comes to mind is alcohol. An alcoholic will say they aren't addicted to drinking and can stop whenever they want but choose not to. My thoughts are about 'chat'. How going into a chatroom, you go in with expectations of fun and laughs but then once that's gone, why go in? It becomes almost like an addiction....like a need? What for? To see that you aren't so bad off as you thought you were? Or is it that you need to know what is going on when really you dont? You can stop whenever you want....yet, there you are, in there again like you've been sucked in and is there something wonderful and funny going on? No. Just some schmuck acting like he's hot stuff to the ladies when in fact he's nothing, and the ladies acting like he's wonderful Cuz he gives them attention. This isn't a complaining post, just observation. Anything in the world, you can be addicted to. Why be addicted to something so stupid? If it's not that initial fun and laughs to pass time, then why bother? Is that how all addictions seem to tend to be after awhile? Can an addiction be so easily broken? Or do we find something to take its place to be addicted to? Maybe a positive addiction but then, it'd still be an addiction that you may have to eventually break. It's like a never ending cycle! I think will have to mix it up with a negative and positive addictions to even yourself up. Lol  So I had a bit of this discussion with my co-worker and he brings up a few items about this. One could say that even an addiction could end up being almost like an obsession compulsion. We discussed that maybe one could be addicted to Candy Crush but also addicted to the electronic device that it is played on. So, let's say, you run out of lives on Candy Crush...do you put that device away and move on or do you find something else on that device to ease the tense of not being able to play the game but find another to take it's place? So it could be addiction of the game or the device or just games in general. It's a world of varieties to it! Too many variables for me to even phantom to think too much about.
