Addiction. A disease like cancer. It is a problem with many faces and levels. From food addiction to drug addiction. One level may be easier than another but the process is the same. An addictive personality gets born out of habits and massive pleasure, to take control over you. You think this is you but you are being kept prisoner in your own mind. A addictive personality inside of you is getting stronger with each permission to your addictive pleasure.
Is pleasure bad? Of course not! Pleasure is healthy. Actions that lead to addiction are not. Actions that create the addictive personality. Actions that try to avoid the inevitable pain that comes with life sometimes, in order to bring a peak of pleasure temporarily and more pain afterwards.
Addictive personality. A prison just for us. A prison with us alone in it. Keeps people away and focuses only in the addiction subject. Once you it lures you in it is very hard to get out. But not impossible.
Cigarettes, sugar and junk food, porn, internet, smartphone, cocaine and other drugs, alcohol, gambling and many more. It is very easy to get relief from them. But harder to avoid them with each time.
Therapy from addiction is one of the toughest and most painful things a human can go through, physically, psychologically and mentally. The relief however is a huge reward. A sense of atonement and power.
And guess what the strongest and perhaps the only therapy is. Human relationships.
They say love is the strongest force out there.
