Do You Know An Addict
Are you or someone you know an addict? If you are truthful in
answering this question the most likely reply would be, yes.
Believe it or not but most people in this world has one
addiction or another the problem is that some are believed to be
more unhealthy than others. This is just not true because in the
end all addictions are dangerous and potentially deadly not to
mention that all addictions affect the people around you
regardless if they are aware of the condition or not.
An addiction is something a person is unable to control on
his/her own no matter how much they want to stop. Many
addictions are very visible to people but a lot of others are
not which makes them dangerous because these victims often do
not cry out for help until it is too late. Therefore these
addictions which can not be recognized as easily can be much
more dangerous than ones which can be seen.
When talking about addiction people often stereotype these
people as homeless bums doing drugs or alcohol and who steal and
cheat to support their habit. Any more this is not so because
more and more so called upper class people are getting involved
in heavy drugs and all kinds of drugs are becoming as normal as
alcohol at a party. Believe it someone in your circle of friends
most likely has a habit of doing some kind of drugs whether it
is street drugs or drugs prescribed by a doctor.
Another addiction suffered by a lot of teenaged girls and
housewives are eating disorders like bulimia or anorexia. Yes,
these are forms of addictions and they are very dangerous ones
because they go undetected for so long and are often not noticed
until the person ends up in the hospital and by this time it can
already be too late. You probably figure you would know if your
child or other loved ones was suffering from this but you may be
very wrong because they will go to any length to hide what is
going on.
One addiction which is fast growing these days are gambling, a
terrible habit which often lead to major debt and families
loosing their homes. What is so bad about this addiction is that
the person involved will conceal his habit and hide his
financial situation from the rest of his family. By the time the
husband or wife finds out there is no longer any way to catch up
on all the unpaid bills lying around.
Even such a thing as having an affair and cheating on your
spouse can be classified as an addiction and have a devastating
impact on your whole family. For many people having an affair
can actually trigger a rush equal to drugs. It becomes so
exhilarating that the person are unable to stop, not because
he/she does not love you or feel bad for what he is doing but
because he/she actually love the rush.
It would be impossible to mention all types of addiction but
with as "normal" as addictions has become it would be very smart
to educate yourself if you believe someone around you is
suffering from one. The last thing you need to do is to barge in
on someone accusing them of being an addict so before doing so
educate yourself on what symptoms to look for. Most people
caught up in bad habits are in one way or another crying for
help but are too embarrassed to ask.
