ADDICTION

Hosted by www.Geocities.ws

THE MAIN REASON PEOPLE TAKE UP SMOKING or drinking is because people want to run
away from reality, from their problems. They want to cover it up with something, and
therefore resort to smoking, alcohol or drugs, all there of which numb the mind from reality. But the more one is restricted from these things the more they are attracted towards them.
For instance, the government of some European countries ordered the price of cigarettes be
increased in order to reduce its consumption. But the number of consumers remained
consistent, proving that willing to forgo their hard -earned money at the cost of their health.
People have little respect for the value of life, and faulty education and family upbringing are to be blamed for this attitude. The fact that nature has blessed us with a life means little to man.
Nicotine, drugs and alcohol have adverse effects on the human mind and body.
All three give temporary hypnotic sensation, although the reason for the falling prey to
these habits may vary slightly. One of the main reasons people get hooked on to smoking
is because of nervousness. Very often nervousness or lack of confidence leaves people
groping for words it is
at times like these that they feel the need to hold on to something. The heat and the nicotine course through the body revoking a false feeling of strength
and confidence. Gripped by the hypnotic effects, people resort to smoking at the slightest
feeling of discomfort, nervousness or emotional disturbance, gradually getting addicted to it.
This feeling of confidence is short lived and the body soon gets used to it forcing he addict to
take more doses for better effects. The attraction toward smoking might have been
unconsciously embedded right during the childhood of a person. Children who have4 not been breast-fed well or who have weaned away at a very early stage are more prone to smoking.
Elders smoking at home, inadvertently pass it on to children, inhaling the smoke, they become passive smokers and get addicted to the smell of nicotine.
The need to smoke could also stem from lack of love and attention and in extreme cases the
individual resorts to taking alcohol and drugs that have a stronger numbing effect of alcohol and drugs.
Emotional turmoil financial burdens or lack of love or attention all lead to a situation of
helplessness and resentment. The individual, wanting to flee from all this finds solace in the
effects of alcohol and drugs. Again, the ecstatic effects of smoking, drinking and drugs have their repercussions the spell is short lived and in the long term challenge the person�s health
release the tension from, what the ancient sciences call, the third eye. The warmth in
it relaxes all the muscles in the body. But this pleasure comes with a heavier rice tag.
Most of our actions are done with a conscious effort from our part, but when we consume
alcohol, so benumbing are its effects on the mind that we start drinking more without our conscious knowledge, and hence have little control over the quantity consumed.
Our mind always looks for immediate effects that are what it finds in alcohol. But slowly the <
alcohol gnaws away our consciousness impairing our ability to think clearly and take decisions.
This initial euphoria leads to tension in the family life, poor performance and financial hardship.
Unable to perform well in their social and personal life the addicts react with bitterness
towards friends and colleagues and are later victims of guilt and resentment. Alcohol
especially shows its gad effects on children. As the person slowly loses stability and
thinking power he finds himself worked up at the slightest hint of tension, and ends up fighting with family members, such fights between parents can evoke strong feelings of
insecurity in the children, which remained in the child�s mind forever. It is very difficult for a child to forget fights and quarrels among parents are their source of security and comfort in life.
