Can you get rid of addiction?

ha!So am i.I like computer and internet.
I also could not get rid of addiction to mylot!

There is NO WAY to get rid of addiction "instantly". The body has already adapted to needing the substance, and it needs time to get rid of that need. If your friend won't stay in rehab, then he's not going to get rid of the dependence. The scary thing about cocaine is that at any given moment, a single dose can stop your heart. It doesn't take an overdose to kill you.
Being addicted to a certain thing is not easy to quit. But still I believe that it is in your own will and determination to quit it. Let me just share to you that my boyfriend has being addicted to drugs and fortunately time come that he feels pity to himself about his future. That's why he himself slowly stop it and successfully quit it.
One more thing is to discuss your addictions with your family and talk to them about your serious intentions of getting rid of it. Dont fear their reactions on it because it will be temporary and ultimately they will want you to get back to normal.
Addictions are really hard to get rid of. Its not something you can just toss aside. You need to seek help either from a abuse-help group, from a therapist, or some other professional that is qualified to give help. Most of all, you need a strong will. All the counceling in the world will be for naught if your not determined.

hope this help...cheers!

I'm addicted to learning. I want to get rid of it but I don't know how. I always want to learn so even though i'm not finish in learning a thing I just jump to learn other things so that make me do more thing. Its really a miserable thing for me. I can't even apply my learnings because I want to learn than to apply.
