Addiction is a Choice
Addiction is a choice, yes this is true. Because one chooses it to discover a way to cope with things that are difficult to face. This is why it is more comfortable than wanting to change.
Addictions are not bad things as you believe. They sometimes save you from losing control of your mind. Escape is sometimes like a well needed vacation. Once the vacations ends, you are rested enough to face reality again but with a new perspective.
You’ve heard of hitting rock bottom. Well, rock bottom is the point where it is more comfortable to face the fear than to escape into an addiction that brings you pain. It is all good, for sometimes this is what is needed to see the other side is not so bad.
