Help for Addictions

I find it very funny when people talk about addictions. But I have heard enough and seen enough to conclude that it is no laughing matter.  However, it is impossible for me to stop believing that it should not be a problem.

The issue of addictions has generated much more attention than it actually deserves and the sole beneficiaries are the NGOs and “help” groups and of course the self help gurus. It is a known fact that anything that is focused upon for so long be it positive or negative only festers, and I will say that addictions, like religion or crime wax strong because we will not stop talking about them.

Careers have now been created from this professional empathy for people that only require hard truth because believe me, an addict will never quit until he or she decides to, and very often it has little to do with all the “expert” help they get. People who have interacted professionally with addicts know this.

How can people say they cannot but drink alcohol or take drugs or smoke tobacco or have sex?

I consider it most bizarre.

This can only happen where people are so well fed that they have time to indulge in what not.

If you are an addict and you still have your senses intact, enough of it for you to go about seeking others who also have problems of their own to help you, I will recommend that you take a trip to other parts of the world where the little things you take for granted like freedom or even fresh air (let’s not mention food and shelter) are a big deal. Then you will know just how pathetic you are claiming addiction.

Take interest in the lot of people the world over; in war torn territories, in famine ravaged lands, at the scene of natural disasters; places where you can feel the naked human soul, then ask yourself again if you are deserving of any sympathy.

Why do you think there are no such help hysteria for addicts in poor countries and shrinks are very poor poeple there? It is because people there are too hungry to be addicted to anything. Where you even find any kind of addicts, pack them in a room and give them good food for a month and you find that they are cured; easy as you like.

It is the extreme complacency and indolence of rich societies that breed vices like addictions.

It is a different thing all together if you were born in the streets and got exposed to substances you knew nothing about and now you suffer as a result.  Even then it is still up to you as long as your faculties are intact to free yourself the moment you realise you have a problem.

If you believe you have a problem, you can always solve it if you want to.

People just enjoy sympathy and they will do everything to get as much of it as possible. Drinking, smoking, hard drugs and sex are enjoyable, that is why people will always indulge in them and for those that lack self control, it is double fun when they can get sympathy for desert.

If you consider yourself addicted to drinking or smoking please do yourself a favour and stop. If you enjoy these things, go ahead and have your fill but let others be.

I believe if anybody really wants to give up anything he or she would. You don’t even need self help techniques or shrinks or religion. You only need to understand your place in the world and know what really is important.

For the so called sex addicts, you can only label yourself so because you possess functioning sex organs. Had you had to go all over the place seeking help to revive your member then you will know how fortunate you are and keep your thing where it should be and use it only when necessary.

If you want to be a porn star go ahead and become a porn star; at least you will be following your passion. But if you are too embarrassed to admit you belong to the scarlet industry and go about worrying people that you cannot control your sex drive then too bad. Know now that you are a nuisance. The world has better things to worry about.

You only make gurus and shrinks smile to banks at your expense. Ask anyone who has ever been “reformed” and you will be told that it did not come about as a result of anybody else’s genius. You are reformed the day you decide to stop.

My sympathy goes out only to drug addicts. Basically because of the obvious damage the substances they abuse inflict on them. These ones we can tolerate and try to help because they cannot help themselves.

But it does not change the fact that addictions of whatever sort would not enjoy the kind of attention they do today if not for a culture of misplaced priorities that have seen basic values being eroded and blessings turned into curses.

And I cannot see it as anything but ingratitude to good fortune.

You are responsible for yourself. It is as simple as that.
