Being addicted is not good, but I saw most of peoples is being addicted of something. From the light addiction to the heavy one. Aside of drugs which illegal and prohibited, many peoples that I met are addicted to coffee, tea, cigarette, gambling, Blackberry, or even games. I assumed the meaning of addiction is the behaviour to reflect a strong connection of something that you can't live without it otherwise your day will become miserable and uneasy. If that so, I should say that I don't have any addiction to something. But is that normal since everyone that I know at least have one addiction to something. And why peoples could be so addicted? For kind of beverages, I could understand there's an addictive factor, but for games? I even read an old news about the guys who died because of being games addicted.

You don't have to be addicted to something just because everyone is. Or you can be addicted to being addicted. I know it sounds deep but it's not, really.

Hi, I feel it's good of not being addicted to anything so I will not depend on something for my mood. But somehow, I got a feeling that I don't own an identity or habitude of the human. :)

Maybe you're not normal. You're abnormal.

We tend to see all forms of addiction as potentially dangerous but there are forms of addiction which could be classed as ‘social use’ or a ‘passion’ rather than a dependency. These include a hobby, sport, watching television and certain foods such as chocolate. As long as these don’t impact in a negative way upon your life or cause problems for anyone else then they are a ‘casual addiction’. Basically, someone with a casual addiction is able to stop at any time without any ill effects.

Addiction has two faces one may be good and one may be bad. Necessarily if you get more addicted to anything it may be dangerous to ourselves. For examples playing games and all can be healthy but too much of it would become addiction. Please dont get addicted.

hello creyos, you are absolutely doing the right thing by not getting addicted to anything.Those people who are addicted to smething or the other are not showing normal behaviour.Their will power is very weak and not resistant to any type of addiction.Addiction, as you have rightly said,makes ones life miserable since one cannot live without the addiction. If you want to lead a life of peace and happiness you should keep away from all types of addictions and attachments otherwise they will make your life a living hell.I, too have kept away from all kinds of addictions and therefore enjoying my life in peace and happily.You are a good girl so keep on being good and do not get influenced by what others are doing. LOL.
