People have different types of addictions, some could be mild, while others could be deep. It takes a stronger will power to overcome a deep addiction. It easier to break free of any type of addiction at an early stage, only if we could see the harm inherent in such behavior. But from a spiritual angle of it, there is a school of thought that believes that addicts are usually possessed by some lower demons, that controls the mind and feeds from the habits of the addicts. Just like a parasite, that feeds on the host and gradually takes over the life of the host. How to overcome any form addiction, is to first realize the harm or risk in the habits, stop the habit, make commitment never to return, share your story with others, value your freedom rather than the pains of addiction. Do you have any experience of addiction?

I was addicted to smoking for decades. I quit some years ago. I still say that I´m a smoker who is not smoking and won´t touch a puff out of a ciggie. I could go back again.

Sometimes stopping a strong addiction requires a very strong will power
