THE ADDICT

THE ADDICT

What is an addict? An addict is someone who is chemically dependent on a substance(s) and cannot cope with it and affect their daily routine.

One cannot think of anything else once they wake up or go to sleep. People get addicted for many reasons: Social cues, personal reasons or just to help them function.

The short term relief surpasses the long term consequences in the mind of an addict. There are different types of addicts one who can use and drop the habit any time and one who simply can't live without them.

I want to encourage you, you are not alone. Quite a number of people are suffering from this kind of illness. It is what you do about it that sort of defines you.

Replacing the habit with, other healthier alternatives is paramount in your recovery. Also, I would recommend therapy. It might take time but trust the process. 

Remember your replacing a huge part of your life and going cold turkey may not be the best option. Take it from me you might go deeper into the rabbit hole.

We need to be able to create awareness and integrate these people into society by providing better health care services.

You are not alone turn your weaknesses into strength and always remember you are not alone.
