Addiction what is it?
We hear this word and connect it with smoking, drinking or other vices, but addiction is much larger , people are addicted to something or other, human brain can never be perfect, some people check if they have really locked the home 2-3 times, now i know this is OCD or sort off, but addiction is manifestion of OCD too. how about tea and coffee, I heard someone tried becoming vegetarian but could not after 3 days again started eating non vegetaraian food, I have heard people addicted badly to coke, pepsi , coffee, drinking large amount of that.....
Is it possible to be free from such issues in life?

There are 2 types of addictions, physical addictions and psychological addiction.
Also caffeine is addictive, that is why coke, pepsi, coffee, etc are addictive. But regular food should not be addictive(at least it shouldn't be physical addictive). |
