Addiction is doing something or using something excessively and non-stop, and it is something that cannot be stopped any how once the victim has started doing or using it. Many addicts dont notice that they have become addicts until its too late. Addiction can be dangerous since it can transform a well charming person into something else thus making the person feel low from his natural character. Even the immediate family members may take longer to notice that someone is totally addicted to something. Addicted persons mostly will go unnoticed even by their beloved ones for being secretive.
It reaches a time when the victim starts to behave strangely and also having strains with the finances thats when the family and friends will start noticing the sudden changes. Drug addiction can lead to extreme bodily harm and the victim can entirely do away with family. This may lead to very poor health for the victim and if not realized and treated fast sometimes leads to death. Bad habits can be a result of addiction that may be caused due to family issues, social stress and also job stress.
Gambling is also part of the common addictions that many have indulged themselves into. It may seem ok to gamble until someone becomes financially crippled and they cannot stop gambling it stresses them because they still want to gamble and yet they are deep in debt. The addiction slowly pulls them down and eventually leads them into leading a miserable life. Reason being they dont want the world to know how they lost the money and probably the job that was supporting them. And you will find that when the victims have failed in getting back to their stability the only solution they are left with is going stray since they dont see the meaning of life anymore.
Some addicts will go to an extend of selling their assets just to get the money, people who practice adult video are also in the linage of addicts. Adult video addicts tend not to realize they are addicts until when it comes a situation of them wanting to do it even when they are in the middle of something constructive. Some addictions like shopping may seem ok, until you realize how much finances you putting into shopping, more so when you keep shopping and later realize that most of the stuff you buy, you really dont need them but still you keep shopping. A habit is a disease thats why when you notice you are over doing something its essential to seek advise.
