Addiction! Good or Bad!?!

Addiction!! Good or Bad?

You would have noticed certain warnings in the movies like ‘Liquor drinking and smoking is injurious to health’. Even though people are acquainted with these warnings, they tend to go behind these addictions. Why? Addiction is not really a bad thing after all. It saps the strength only when it exceeds the limit. One who learns to control his addiction, can live a more pleasurable life like those without addiction. In one sense, it is like turning your weaknesses into your greatest strength. People with addiction are often said to be hopeless but this is nowhere near true. Even people with serious cases of addictions can enjoy life to the fullest by following a method called ‘controlled addiction’.

For example, most of the delicious treats available on this planet are those filled and dripping with grease. But humanly beings tend to only indulge themselves on these unhealthy but scrumptious foods. They are said to be on the path of disease and self-destruction. I am not saying them to completely avoid this habit but by choosing to taste everything and on small quantities is both fulfilling and healthy.

It is said that liquors like beer and wine can are full of medicinal and health values. But most of the time, we tend to over exploit this precious resource; where instead of bringing us benefits, it becomes a poison. But if you try to restrict your intake to just a glass then it becomes a treasure. You have to linger yourself in the taste of each sip. If you feel and enjoy every sip, then even a single glass will be more than enough to provide considerable pleasure.

In one context, if the addiction is too bad it can be replaced with a good addiction. There can be no examples stated for this, as this ‘thought’ should be thought upon, by every individual for their well- being. ‘Time interval’ is a factor of significance here, any habit should have proper time interval to be repeated. During this interval the urge of drinking liquor or any other habit will be huge. But we should not satisfy this urge through action. Perhaps, you have to ponder over the thought and try to learn to drive yourself in a controlled manner, during the interval.

The main aim is to increase the interval and achieve satisfaction only through thought and not getting involved in action. This is a great training to your mind at physical body. Everything can be achieved through practice and perfection. Similarly addiction can also be controlled through proper practice and training of the mind. According to normal human biology, it is impossible and harmful to eat lot of chillies. But one man (as I came to know) eats about 2kgs of chillies as his daily food. Despite this, he is absolutely healthy. THROUGH PROPER PRACTICE OF MIND ONE CAN EVEN CHANGE THE NATURAL LAWS AND CONVENTIONS. Let me discuss you a small method. When your taste buds long for excessive liquor, keep in mind that you’re a speeding truck without any brakes. Just ponder over this following question whenever the urge is more. Even though if you have a crazy desire to take a brakeless ride in your car, would you actually do that? What will be the consequence?

Getting frightened? This fright should be thought upon whenever the urge of addiction is more. This is really frightening because your own mind and body is out of your control, there by letting yourself being subjected to serious humiliation (I mean everyone calling you a ‘drunkard’) in front of others. But when you are controlled in liquor drinking you can enjoy the rest of the day by cruising through the world.

Therefore addiction is not bad; it only appears bad due to the way you deal with it!
