addiction(S)

There is so many addiction now this days, that over the years it been hard to distingush whether or not a person is addicted. And even now there is a be battle trying to make people understand that addiction isn't always just when someone has the constant urge to consume substances in order to obtain pleasure. In fact there is main types of addiction, subtance addictions and process addictions.
Subtance addiction is the one that most people are familiar with, this addiction includs drugs,achohol,and smoking. In the other hand process addiction involves gambling, spending, shopping, eating, and sexual activities. And although they might involved different activites, theres isnt that much of a difference between the two. One mainly being the great role Psychological dependece has on both of this addictions. Psychological dependence is the necessity a someone has to taking-in asubtances or do a certian activty in order to have mental stability. Pyschological dependence is also what pervents or makes it harder someone to withdrawal. As it get harder to let go of an addcition the more and more damges ocurrs in ones life.


What problem are caused through complusive shopping?
Compulsive shopping or spending may result in interpersonal, occupational, family and financial problems in one's life. I think that this one of the main things people misinterperted about shopachohilcs, they think that the conflicts that rise are finical problems, but truly the damage done is more the one could afford.
From my personal expierence,my addiction really did affected my realtionship with my parents. I remeber how much hate i had towards them, I felt so negeletd, there money for was kind of a symbol of their love. Perhaps we should understand the root cause of addiction. I truly dont think that being addicted to something is as simple and easy as many people define it.
We just have take a moment and truly think whats the motive of our actions.
Is it because we can afford to spend our free time shopping unlike some other countires? Or because we're in some kind sadness and we use the addciton as way of clouding what we truly feel? If its painful and emptiness that is casuinf our actions, we must not ignore the feelings, instead one should try to figure out what is missing within us,
