Our addictions have overpowered us, making us believe that we’ll never overcome them.
An addiction always starts as a thought which turns into a desire which then turns into craving. Once you start craving, there is no going back because there are high chances that you’ll bow down to your addiction. For this reason, one of the best ways to end your addiction is to avoid people or places that trigger addictive thoughts.
Sometimes it might be hard to avoid these triggers. The good thing is that you can also beat addiction by training yourself to have power over your desires. Training starts when you avoid engaging in your addictions when they present themselves. For instance, if you are addicted to spending, you can say no to a friend who asks you to accompany her on a spending spree.
You can also beat your addictions by overcoming your beliefs about them. If you are an alcoholic you can quit alcohol by overcoming the belief that alcohol is the only thing that can help you relax.
You’ll fail several times while trying to beat your addiction. The best thing to do is to never give up.
Psychologists claim that it takes 40 days of abstinence to break an addiction. Therefore, try avoiding your addiction everyday, and you’ll overcome it after 40 days.

Interesting read. 40 day challenge it is. Keep posting mate. PS is there no like button?
Too bad, there is no like button.. Anyway, A 40 day challenge seems to be hard but it is possible man
The power of our own minds is so intense. Every thought that comes out of it tends to define who we are. It is therefore upon us to take charge of it and not let negative illusion overcome us. Awesome piece buddy!
the mind is so powerful..putting it under control enables an individual to have full control of the direction his life will take
Addiction is a brain disease
yes brian, its a mental illness.
an addict will always be obsessed with the addictive substance even if he knows that the substance is negatively affecting his life.
Also, many addicts always suffer from other mental illneses such as depression, chronic anxiety, etc. Therefore, apart from being a mental illness, addiction is also accompanied by mental illnesses Therefore, where there is an addiction, there is surely a mental illness
By the way, i struggled with addictions for a while, and to be honest, sometimes i still get tempted to take a beer or two…but if i do so, i never worry because i know that i am winning because no mental illness is powerful than the human spirit combined with a massive willpower..thanks for commenting brian
