Problem of addiction

Published by

ADDICTION, according to  the Macmillian dictionary, means a strong wish or need to spend as much time as possible doing a particular activity.

It comes in various ways and it is what an individual enjoys doing. A lot of individuals, especially teenagers and youths, today have different addictions such as addiction to drugs, mobile phones, social media, smoking, drinking, TV programmes, gambling, sex and many more.

All these addictions can lead to feelings of guilt, shame, hopelessness and failure. Addiction makes it impossible for an individual to control his or her choices.

One major way to put an end toaddiction is by not being far from one’s maker. It is good to pray about everything an individual finds himself or herself doing.

Another way to end an addiction is by getting help because of the mental and physical conditions involved.

Also, an individual who is addicted needs to be determined and disciplined when receiving treatment.

Lastly, an addicted person should watch himself or herself and stay positive.
