Question About Addictions?

Question by brenna: Question about addictions?
Is it true that the more you STOP doing your addiction, the LESS you want it? Or is it the opposite, where the more you STOP doing your addiction, the MORE you want it?

Answer by John
This depends on what you mean by “addiction”. Addiction to a substance of any kind, including alcohol and especially tobacco, will create withdrawal symptoms. These are usually very strong cravings that can take differing lengths of time to get over depending on the substance. These strong cravings will increase until the detoxification process is completed in your body. Drug withdrawal programs usually last about 28 days to guarantee being clean. At the point a person can deal with the underlying cause of the addiction – what emotions are being avoided, what causes them anxiety.

How Do You Cure an Internet Addiction?

Question by Malsa1: How do you cure an internet addiction?
Hi, I’m an internet junkie and definately qualify for the symptons of an addiction. When I’m not on the machine I desperately wait to use it again and when it’s my turn if someone else is still using it I start to feel angry because I can’t use it.

I don’t even like using it, in fact I despise this machine. I waste all my time on it barely doing anything interesting despite chatting when I could so more productively use that time for my new job or my world travelling ambitions. When I finally finish using it I never feel satisfied and want to use it more.
