their morals values and beliefs entirely. <strong>The</strong>y did what they needed to eliminate
their addictions because it was causing heavy discomfort to their <strong>life</strong>style.
I’ve also seen the other hand many times where someone cannot surpass
their serious addiction because they fear the unknown. <strong>The</strong>y continuously
dwell in their emotional self-pity and chose to embrace words from their
negative influences; those who tell them they’re weak because they fear
what’ll happen when they leave the situation (eliminate their negative influence).
No matter how many times they suffer from harsh verbal abuse from
their peers their fear of change overcomes their mindset. This is the exact
same story for anyone who suffers from serious addictions, not just those
who are verbally abused. All addictions contain the same feelings and the
same emotions. Although different in nature their destruction is all the same.

Often times, people with serious addictions don’t feel worthy of getting assistance.
<strong>The</strong>y feel their lives are too far gone to be saved. Or, they’re ashamed
of their addictions and they don’t want other people to see their weaknesses.
<strong>The</strong> <strong>truth</strong> is; it is possible to eliminate any given habit or addiction no matter
what the circumstance. Now that we’ve discussed the nature of habits and
their role in our lives I want to share my thoughts <strong>about</strong> eliminating them.
Eliminating any given habit/addiction will increase your happiness, bar
none. <strong>The</strong>re are some backfires however when overcoming one. For example;
often times, people replace their habit with another one when
they’re trying to rid of one. A smoker might binge eat during their regular
scheduled smoke break at work (rather than smoke cigarettes). This is
merely to replace the comfort the smoker once received from the initial
habit. <strong>The</strong>y became used to the instant satisfaction and looked forward to
it at certain times during the day. I personally gave up smoking cigarettes
but I became glued to the news feeds of social media. I needed something
to replace my comfort of smoking so I latched onto my phone. Now
I can’t put it down. This has caused an even bigger issue with my personal
<strong>life</strong> compared to smoking (without mentioning the obvious health effects
of smoking) because now I spend less quality time with my family
at home. My phone addiction has now surpassed my smoking addiction.
Be aware that you may replace your habit with another one. It’s your body’s
way of defending the discomfort of not being addicted anymore. A friend of
mine was a heavy drug and alcohol user. He replaced his addiction of chugging
beers with that of chugging triple-triple coffees. He drinks at least six a day.
