Then Why cant addiction? there are many different forms of addiction, it can take hold of us in such a way that it is difficult to get ourselves free. Drinking, smoking, gambling, sitting too much in front of TV or addiction for facebook, Beating addiction once and for all is possible, but only if you are passionate, willing, and enlightened as to how to go about doing it. Those who have a problem with addiction will want to start by first acknowledging it, No matter what it is. Why am I doing this, what purpose does it solve? ‪If you are an alcoholic you are not just drinking because you are thirsty. Admit. "I am medicating myself for anxiety, depression and pain, it numbs me to life." Use alternative coping skills, break old bad habits n replace them with new ones. There’s an old saying “It takes 30 days to develop a habit, and 7 days to break it. Yes consider developing new habits, like breathing exercises and relaxation techniques.
