Addiction is such a powerful thing..

The ability to control a person. We, humans pride ourselves of being the smartest living beings created- with the ability to think, reason, analyze, calculate and make decisions. Yet, all these skills become disoriented just by something as an addiction.

Enters one’s life subtly, an uninvited guest or otherwise, and slowly becomes a vital part of your life. Getting into one is easy, getting otta one is twice as difficult!

Ever been an addict?

Ever craved that next glass of sparkling wine, or the next smoke, without which you feel you just cannot survive.

If you’re sitting smug thinking that’s not me, think again. It’s not just the alcoholics, the junkies or the chain smokers who’d stand guilty.

Every one of us is an addict of something or the other. If we only just sit back and reflect-

Is it coffee? your newspaper? your new car? your significant other? Television? your favourite soap? Books? movies,? shopping? the telephone? yourself???

Many of the songs we listen to have something to do with addiction- I want to break free, Break away, Addicted, Bad Medicine

You’ll know it for sure when you wake up in the morning and it’s the thing that keeps you going on through the day.. your priorities change, abstain from it and you’re incomplete..or at least that’s what you think. What stage you’re in depends on who is in control- you or your addiction.

I myself am no exception, an addict..but yet I am a conqueror. So what makes an addict a conqueror? The difference is who your savior is…mine helped me out of my addictions. Get free!!!
