You think you know but you don’t know anything. emwye: At the risk of sounding like a prick: 1. You don’t overcome an addiction, one simple manages it. The age old adage “once an addict, always an addict” rings true. 2. I believe addiction is a disease that needs treatment and there are a few addictions which stopping cold turkey could actually be fatal. 3. Addicts need a very strong support system, it’s easy to slip into depression otherwise 4. Address the real issue that pushed one into it in the first place. Friends e.t.c 5. When you slip, don’t beat yourself up but be thankful you survived it and learn from your mistakes.

I dont care what your addiction was but thanks for sharing this practical ways of overcoming any addiction. Addition is simply being slave to something, once say no to that over which you are addicted, you have won. Thanks once more, right now I m addicted to looking for money and I don't want to stop until I succeed. 1 Like 1 Share |

Inconclusive Analysis Name of Addiction == unmentioned All the bullshity writeup probably a copy n paste operation from someone else's writeup JohnspeakU: How I Overcame My Stubborn Addiction
(c) Johnspeak Uwangue . Whether you believe it or not, majority of people are fighting against one addiction or another. Yours might be different from mine but all addictions are dangerous and harmful. According to Adams Feldman of MEDICALNEWSTODAY “addiction is a psychological and physical inability to stop consuming a chemical, drugs, activity or substance, even though it is causing psychological and physical harm.”
Some addiction also involves an inability to stop partaking in activities such as gambling, masturbation, pornography, eating or working. In these circumstances, a person has behavioral addiction. When a person experiences addiction, they cannot control how they use a substance or partake in an activity and they become dependent on it to cope with daily life. Most people starts using a drug or first engage in an activity voluntarily. However, addiction can take over and reduce self control. However, addiction and misuse are different. Misuse refers to the incorrect, excessive or non therapeutic use of body and mind altering substances. However, not everybody that misuse a substance has addiction. Addiction is simply the long term inability to moderate or cease.
I suffered from addiction secretly for a very long time until I got tired and decided to do something about it. I want to share with you just four ways that I was able to overcome my stubborn addiction.
- I Starved It When an habit becomes an addiction you will always feel the urge to engage. The urge is like a man knocking on the door of your apartment but it’s left to you to either open up or not. The truth is, if you refuse to grant him access whenever he knocks he will eventually get tired and walk away. He will keep coming but will eventually stop when you refuse to open up. So it is with addiction. Starve it by not engaging when the urge comes.
- I Got A Replacement You can’t easily stop an addiction without having an alternative or replacement. For instance, if your addiction is masturbation or drugs, whenever you feel the urge to engage, get something else to remove your mind from the thought. Play an instrument, join a dance class, play sport just do something legal whenever you feel the urge.
- I Stopped Celebrating It The funny truth is that things that are easily addicted to always seem like fun and enjoyment. You are celebrating it when you think it’s fun. Detest it, become angry with it,run away from it like Joseph fleeing from the grip of Potiphar’s wife. Some people have become addicted to sex cos that’s their own definition of fun in so doing, they h find themselves unable to stay a day without sex. Stop celebrating your addictions cos whatever you celebrate won’t want to let you go.
- Talk Against It Some people would have gone back to their old lifestyle if they didn’t preach against it publicly. Talking, preaching, speaking against your addiction is an easy way to overcome it because only fools patronize what they discriminate against. Join a local group, join a talk group where people can talk about their addictions without being mocked.

You are spot on friend. #1.Starve it. This kind will not go but by fasting(depriving starving, weakening). They are strong on you. Starve them of their food (whatever the addiction is) #2 get a replacement. Mind cannot exist as a void. Once that goes out refill quick with something positive. Hence it comes back worst. #3. Stop celebrating it. Anything you celebrate, you glorify, whatever is glorified, is magnified. A backside is just a body part, but see what it has become in our day. We celebrate it. #4. Talk against it. Two cannot walk except they agree. Need we say more. In all only God can cure addictions. Only God can change the same into another. So whatever you are going through. Remerbe to pray. It's well. |
