What Are You Addicted to?

What do you think? Is it just human nature to be addicted?  Are some addictions acceptable and others not? Have you replaced one addiction with another? What is your addiction?

 It’s my observation that…If you’re alive, you’re probably addicted to something either good or bad. Addiction can be viewed as a continued involvement with a substance or activity despite the negative consequences associated with it.What are you addicted to?

  Here is a list of thing you can get addicted to....

Coffee, Chocolate. Facebook, Beauty Products, Junk food or food in general, money
Celebrity gossip and reality TV, Exercise Fashion, Blackberry/i Phone and funny enough working, alcohol, crime, sex, love, prayer (without action), video games, shopping....the list is endless

I believe its the bad addictions that give cause for concern...

One form of addiction that got my attention is Prayer...people get addicted to Prayer and u find out that these set of people pray, pray and pray without working...its sheer waste of time...let me tell you a case of a roomate in my first year in the university... she became so engrossed in her fellowship affaairs that it became an addiction....she was always going from one prayer meeting to the other, even during tests or exams, she'll say i'm going to sports ground (thats where the prayer warriors in oau gather) to pray then i'll come and meet you in class...after spending 3hours "praying" she come to class quite alright and start sleeping...after sleeping for 1hour or so she'll pick up her bag and say she is going to the room....I never understood that attitude...its not like we dont pray too....hello

       By the end of part one she had to leave the school because she did not pass a single course throughout her first year...it was so sad to see her go then...

I believe the first step to recover from an addiction is probably to readily admit that you are an addict....

then seek help...cos really because these kind of people need help. People around you can help you thats only if you are ready to tell them about your addiction...you should be aware of the negative effects your addiction will have on you and know how to manage your addiction...

if u are a shpoaholic...leave ur wallet at home and only do ur window shopping when the shops are closed

if u are a junk food adddict, whenever u feel the urge to eat junk...get variety of fruits or just channel your mind to something else

if you are a sex addict...i think it is only God that can save you so the best thing to do is to give your life to God and always remember that you body is the temple of God.....

I don't believe there are good or ad addictions...once it becomes an addiction, there is definitely a negative effect to it

Its okay if there a one or two things you indulge yourself in as long as it is not overdone...

Every addiction has its negative effects....WHAT ARE YOU ADDICTED TO???? 

Being a good friend is not just about having a good time with others, it's also about how willing you are to put your friends first or point out when they're doing something you don't agree with. Have a read through the following checklist and see how good a friend you really are.

This is how a number of young people responded when asked "What makes a good friend?"

• someone who will support you no matter what
• someone you can trust and who won't judge you
• someone who won't put you down or deliberately hurt your feelings, but will show kindness and respect
• someone who will love you not because they feel they have to because you're their friend, but because they choose to
• someone whose company you enjoy and whose loyalty you can depend upon
• someone who will be there no matter what your situation is
• someone who is trustworthy and not afraid to tell you the truth, no matter how hard it is sometimes
• someone who can laugh when you laugh
• someone who will stick around when things get rough
• someone who makes you smile
• someone who can accept you for who you are, and just lend you an ear when you need to whine or complain
• someone who will cry when you cry
• someone who will give you room to change.

 so who is your friend?
