addiction

it’s shocking how many kinds of addiction exist.  it would be too easy if it was just drugs and booze and cigarettes.  i think the hardest part of kicking a habit is wanting to kick it.  we get addicted for a reason, right?  often, too often, things that start out as just a normal part of your life at some point cross the line turn to obsessive, compulsive, out of control.  it’s the high we’re chasing, the high that makes everything else fade away.

the thing about addiction is that it never ends well because eventually whatever it is that was getting us high stops feeling good and starts to hurt.  still they say you don’t kick the habit until you hit rock bottom, but how do you know when you’re there?  no matter how badly it is hurting us, sometimes letting it go hurts even worse.
