Addiction is defined as a psychological/physical component; that a person is unable to control the aspects of the addiction without help because of the mental or physical conditions involved. Most people with an addiction do not have a control over what they are doing, taking or even using. When it comes to Food, Shopping or even Gambling they are considered to be Behavioral Addiction.
The addiction can get to point where it can be very harmful, when a person is addicted to something they have no control over how they are using their addiction, and it can become part of their daily life. There are so many types of addiction that most people don't even realize they have or even experiencing.
Is there a way that all these addictions can be controlled or even monitored? Can your gambling addiction put you in extreme debt?
Just eating burgers, fries, cupcakes and any other food substance make your overweight? Could shopping at Neiman's, Bloomingdale's or any other expensive retail location make you a shop alcoholic?
Are these some questions we asked ourselves even if we think we don't have an addiction?
Most people that have an addiction problem are afraid or even embarrassed to admit that they have a problem. But what they don't know is that admitting that you have a problem is the first step to recovery for a person that is experiencing any type of addiction. People that have addiction can be saved by their friends, family members or even co- workers that can and should reach out a hand and help them fight their addiction.
Fighting an addiction can be very hard, but having the chance to experience life can be very outstanding and even a blessing, A blessing that not many people can say they were given a chance to do.
