Yeah a lot of people don’t really have an understanding of addiction, but I imagine that is because they have never been addicted to a substance, and that is a blessing IMO.
I personally put no stock or value in “psychological addiction”.
I view that term as an excuse made for those who simply do not have the willpower to overcome their own desire.
Just because you may feel like you want to do a thing very badly does not mean that you have to do that thing. If you want to stop doing that thing, you simply stop.
Making a change in one’s life takes work, effort and discipline. You have to want that change and make it happen.
Conversely, when you want to make a change in your life so badly but you can’t because if you do you will very likely die as a result, then you are in the realm of addiction.
That’s a hard place to be, a very difficult road to travel.
But I am grateful that God put me on that road. I had some things that I needed to learn and a demon that I needed to defeat.
I killed that demon with the strength that He gave me, and now I am loving my life, so that makes me very happy :)
I’m very happy to hear that! :)
