Addiction is intense. Addiction is powerful. Addiction is crazy. I don’t mean that people who are addicts are crazy, not at tall. People sometimes misunderstand the meaning of addiction. I think to some degree everyone has an addiction. Its like a Pavlov’s dog conditioning of ourselves because its all about the stimulus and response.
Addiction is partly about trying to rationalize your feelings and knowing what your getting because other factors in your life are unpredictable and you never know what’s going to happen. Keeping our addiction gives us that amount of predictability human beings need. Sometimes it can end up bad and sometimes it can end up good but everyone has their vices. There are different levels and extremes of addiction. What fills your void?

That is undoubtedly true! Everyone has an addiction of some form.
We all struggle with them. The question is which are positive and which are actually negative. Unfortunately, some of us have addictions that hurt us repeatedly. And I'm not just talking drugs or alcohol. Forget those basics.
For instance, the woman who constantly falls for the wrong men in a sense has a negative addiction although it may not be clear exactly what it is or where it stems from. Make sense? The only way to overcome that addiction is to finally face those demons, figure out how they came to be, and fight them off. The hard part is coming to that realization and finally resolving to make a permanent change regardless of how difficult it may be. And that certainly seems to be the main issue when it comes to all addictions.
