I am addicted to eating food and I was addicted to videogames. Also I have Cronic depression tendency and Asperger's syndrome. And I have an "Adiction to being obsesive with one topic" that work as if I am on drugs. 

People in general want an excuse to "Push and Stomp" other people. For example I was told about drugs when I was younger that if I take drugs, my Life will be the worst, and I will end probably diying in some dark street. 

I suffered and being bullied a LOT for not taking drugs. It was so painful that my mind can't wistand that and I have to take a lot of psychiatric pills to just bare function (Wich by the way are technically drugs).

I waited to see how the people who bullied me and take drugs to end the same thing I was told. Now I have to take a lot of drug-medicines to bare functioning and cannot work but they are youtube content creators with millions of subscribers, work on tv or are respected politicians...

But the point is most people just want and excuse, a door where they have permission to stomp others. Specially when they know there's no going to have any repercussion for them. Helping is way, way more dificult than stomp other peoplemñ.

Man, I send you a big digital hug.

I wish one day you can be free from this adiction.

Thank you so much for the kind words. I'm sorry you suffer from these ailments. I appreciate the hugs and they are reciprocated, and I certainly hope I can be free one day as well.

The way others see people who take substances considered as drugs is due to the way we have been raised. I remember being told as a kid that this was just wrong. Consequently, I began to regard it as pure evil, and people who use drugs as bad people. But my opinion changed a lot since then. The more people I knew and the more I learnt, the more complex this topic got. This is not an easy subject. But undoubtedly, people with addictions should never be pushed away! Never! Acctually, the way we develop addictions is very similar in case of video games and substances like THC and others. I will always keep my fingers crossed for you! 

Redacted for my own privacy. Message me for what was here previously.

I used to have 2 addictions, I won't say which ones, but now I've eliminated these addictions. Here's a method that helped me: I read and watched videos about the harm of my addiction every day. Thanks to this, I realized the harm of these addictions and it was much easier to fight. There are also forums on the Internet dedicated to fighting addictions. I have an account on such a forum and there are diaries of winners. I sometimes read these diaries and this also helped me.

Here's hoping you get better, I got lucky and quit certain things sooner than the people that introduced me to those certain substances and I still get cravings, addiction really is no joke. Sending well-wishes your way, stay strong!

I'm so sorry you're struggling with this. I hate how some people just blindly dehumanize addicts without really understanding how someone reaches that point. I really hope that you're safe and recovering, and that you have the resources you need. You're not alone and please know that recovery is almost never a linear path. Relapsing absolutely does not mean things are hopeless or that you can't get better, almost everyone who is recovering/recovered have experienced a relapse. Please don't give up on yourself!
