Watch this video if you're having a hard time breaking your addiction

I am having a hard time because I like doing something that benefits no one including me too much for some reason. Call it toxic Capitalist wasteplanet syndrome and corporate powers are making it worse by the year.

 

It's not playing so don't mind if I share a new one. But cheers to the thread idea.



‘Internet addiction’ doesn’t exist. It can’t, because it’s a logical impossibility, a category error, and there’s no good evidence that heavy internet use, in itself, is a risk to mental health. Perhaps the most important point is the concept of ‘internet addiction’ relies on a fundamental misunderstanding of what the internet is. ‘Internet addiction’ researchers conceive of the internet as if it were a set of activities when, in fact, it’s a medium for communication. People become addicted to substances or activities, but it’s impossible to become addicted to a medium. You can be no more addicted to the internet than you can to language or radio waves.

"We're addicted to addictions"

Ya and I think addiction is something that one has the power to end they just need to realize that. However typical addicts tend to adore the destructive behavior so it is not easy to change not wanting to do it ever again. Habits and compulsions are so related it is hard to tell the difference sometimes but even a compulsion can be overcome.

I no longer view addiction as a disease and surely isn't something one needs to be viewed as sick over. Even if the things done in addiction are sick. I guess sickness of the mind can be viewed as something created through one's choices.

I am saying the modern world is sick.

 

Lol bad choice above but I liked it. Didn't think I would want to hear that guy but he is right on.

This is more applicable here I think:

 

Internet addiction certainly exists, as do so many other addictions. The guy is right though that it shouldn't be medicated. Sure, there's an underlying cause for most of the addictions, but that does not negate the fact that the addiction itself exists.
