Addiction, of any nature, is sure
way to destruction. It can be addiction of smoking, alcohol, substance abuse,
gambling, sex and pornography, internet TV mobiles, excess eating or any other
thing or activity. Initially we do things as we get pleasure but soon they take
over and become compulsion to the extent that one start receding from real
life. This results in poor condition in real life and frustration that act as
further pull towards addiction.
It is not difficult to defeat
addiction and create a healthy happy life. The process is easy to understand
and act upon. First thing to do is to accept honestly that one has a particular
addiction and would like to come out of it. One must chose growth option and
set a goal of healthy and happy life free from addiction. Explore deep
feelings, what is causing the addiction. Explore if there is any psychological
basis, any insecurity or stress. Do not postpone. Work on these factors. It is
always good to work under supervision of some professional who can understand
and manage both addictions and their psychological basis. Support groups and
Rehab centers are also helpful. Deeper psychotherapy and hypnotherapy and
natural therapies like homeopathy, acupuncture and yoga are very helpful.
Improve your lifestyle. Exercise
regularly, eat healthy food and have sound sleep. Slowly reduce dependence on
addiction. There will be slips in between. Do not get discouraged. Take full
support of family and friends. Induce some healthy positive habits. Remember it
is slow but sure transition from addiction to healthy state.
