the craving

I have often wondered what causes the different addictions. Some are addicted to gaming, food, drugs, alcohol and porn just to name a few. It is luring but it kills and destroys in it’s wake. You prioritize the crave and it becomes everything and the only thing you see. This craving leads to destruction of health, relationships and the quality of living. Many don’t know they are being affected by this crave or they just outright deny there’s a problem. I chose to name this the craving because that’s what it is, it’s like a drug. The desire is only this, it blinds, consumes and devours destroying life and everything around it. How do you deal with this, can you deal with it, I think so but it requires work, effort and acknowledgement that there is a problem. Problems in itself aren’t bad if you address it and deal with it and if it’s beyond what you can handle there is always counseling. People give counseling a bad wrap mostly because there’s a stigma that if you get counseling that you’re deemed as crazy. This not at all true. I have sought counseling and it helped tremendously in helping me identify the root of my problem and helping how to over come it.
