Addiction is always a losing battle… it is so self-defeating. It is SO easy to come up with excuses, excuses that are everywhere and excuses that can beat any level logic. It seems obvious to me that overcoming any addiction does not depend on how smart you are, how intellectual you are, or even how good your logic is. So how does someone with these characteristics beat strong addictions? I’m not sure. They say it is how strong your will power is. Some people quit out of fear while others choose to suffer because they enjoy the addiction too much even though they fully are aware of its dangers. I’ve learned that addiction is not a cycle; it’s something that a person has to struggle with their whole entire lives… talk about another self defeating process. Is addiction something we are born wired with and if so, what addictions do we find most easily? Remember, addiction is not just too us bad things like drugs and alcohol, but also includes anything that can be abused: gambling, food, sex, groups, music, TV, nicotine, internet, masturbation, money, power, shopping, physical attractiveness, spiritual obsession, and so much more. Some kill us quicker and others are illegal but all distract us from the good things that we are very capable of.
Where in evolution or where in God’s plan does addiction fit into? What are we supposed to be addicted to that is good for us? Is there a good addiction?? Is it better to have had an addiction and control it than never had one at all? Why if we abstain from addiction it is so easy for us to pick up right where we left off instead of starting over again?
We ALL heart some addiction. Is it our flaw or our appreciation; it's difficult? It comes down to our personalities, yet we somehow all survive with them. Identify our addictions and become familiar with them. AA agrees that we are powerless. Addictifiniction is that at some point we rely, we get high, we are vulnerable to our biggest weaknesses. It's animal like, built in, but somehow more evolved. I won't continue until the future...
What is addiction? Powerlessness, denial, reliability, evolution, fun, miscommunication, or plain ol' mischievousness?
