Pay the Price
By Maria “Anggie” Linda
“Let me fly to the fantasy world to reach the pleasure of Death,” she said the addict.
“Here I am, standing still confroting the killing pain till the New Life embraces me,” said the strong man.
What we call the secret of happiness is no more a secret than our willingness to choose life Leo Buscaglia. But livi
ng with 1…… to drugs, alcohol and oher “evil” addictions, is that what we call life, real life? Will a true
happiness belong to that kind of life, anyway? The answer must be NEGATIVE All kinds of evil addiction may commonly lead you to more painful conditions,
even to death. Nevertheless, if you have the signssymtoms of an addiction or already been addicted, one thing you must set in your mind: you can overcome
any kind of addiction, if you want to.
Drugs Addiction The reason why people seem to be so easily get addicted to drugs is only
one simple word, a problem. What problem? Well, it may vary; it can be a complex discomfort, some form of emotional such as unhappiness, hatred, sense
of hopelessness and physical pain. Curiosity may also raise problems dealing with this addiction. But why even though there has been much information about
the fatal dangers of using illegal drugs, mant still try consuming those dangerous substances. It is because addictive drugs like marijuana, meth, cocaine, ecstasy
M DMA and opium are basically 2……. .Thus, pleasure and fake resolution of
problems takeover users’ body and mind. However, this addiction can be cured, as long as the addicts’ body still gives time.
1. If you are an addict, first you must be honest to yourself. When you recognize
the signs of addiction, do not live in denial before it’s too late. Surrender
141 yourself to the facts that you live with dangerous stuff that may take your life
anytime and that those drugs are not your “friends” which will help you solve your problems.
2. Do not be reluctant to get and accept professional help and supports to cure
your addiction. Be consistent in your 3……., no matter how hard and painful it is.
3. Continue with a holistic treatment such as nutritrious food and regular
exercises for your body, emotional and spritual healing, networking and relationship reconstruction; use approaches which suit you the best and avoid
anything and situation that may drive you to craving and relapsing to a worse level.
Smoking Addiction Addiction to smoking cigaretes, 4………. or pipes may begin with the
desire of its pleasure or a way to socialize. If one has a desire to quit, several things must be done.
1. Have a heart and mindset that will make you quit the smoking habit. You can
make a list of your personal physical, emotional, mental, social and spiritual reasons for quitting. You may ask for your family, friends and other people
around you to support your commitment. 2.
Make the slow but really sure actions. Set strategies, such as 5……one cigarette a day, choose a less-nicotine cigarette brand, or even make it as a fun
game by betting against your friends. Then, set also a target to quit entirely. 3.
Control and 6……….. your withdrawal symptoms like cravings. You may celebrate your succesful target day and your continous attempts to quit
smoking forever. You can find or create activities so that you will miss no more the pleasure of smoking habit.
Alcohol Addiction Similar to smoking addiction, alcohol addiction is also mostly about
pleasure. The drinkers usually try to drink one or two glasses but then drink more unconsciously till reaching the addiction level. There will be no successful
intervation for the addict if there is no self-motivated action to quit. Intervation
142 from family, friends, or even experts is commonly needed since first the addicts
may not recognize the addiction. The addicts need awaking calls, so that there will be no problems or impairments which are too difficult or impossible to solve.
They also need supports to let go the hardous pleasure of drinking alcohol. Eating Addiction
To 7………eating addiction successfully is basically about getting the right knowledge of healthy foods and getting discipline to make a healthy eating
lifestyle. When someone gets addicted to eating certain or many kinds of foods, especially the unhealthy-
yummy ones, it may be hard to quit. However, it’s actually easy; you just need to do the right healthy diet and live with it. Yet, one
essential thing you should apply’ you must enjoy your healthy eating lifestyle in order to avoid compulsion, obsession and addiction take over your mind and
body. Shopping Addicted
Shopping always seems much fun and relaxing for those who love it. However, will it still be fun if the finacial doom is heading for you? It is almost
certain that you need to conquer your excessive 8…….. and reasons for purchasing things. You may pay attention to the following suggestions.
1. Make a list of things you want to buy but do not forget to prioritize things to
buy. Stick to the priority. 2.
Make sure that the things you want to buy suit your income and savings then reprioritize.
3. Use cashdebit card. A credit card is only for emergecy but if you use it, make
sure you can pay it back soon. 4.
If you’re tempted to buy certain things, make sure if you really need them. If you’re still unsure, perhaps you should not buy them.
There are many other negative things or activities that are potential to cause addiction. However, we must 9……. Those postive actions, may result in
victory, but a negative mind may lead you death. There may be other positive addictions we may do or maintain, like addicted to help people in need, to learn
143 positive things, and so on. Yet, everything should be propotional, neither less nor
too much. Getting addicted to negative stuff seems so easily experienced by those who
have the desires and curiousity. On the contrary, overcoming addiction will be easier when you take the actions and live with that commitment. Difficulties in
life will not be too hard to face and handle. It is as Catherine Pulsifer wrote, “Action is the commitment on your part. And, once you are commmitted to a
goal, really committed, problems are short term.”
Pay attention to this quote: A Dictionary is the only place that success comes before work. Hard work is the price we must pay for success. I think you
can 10……. Accomplish anything if you’re willing to pay the price Vince Lombardi.
