What is addiction? According to the Psychology Today page it is a condition in which a person engages in use of a substance or in a behavior for which the rewarding effects provide a compelling incentive to repeatedly pursue the behavior despite detrimental consequences. We all know that all of us or majority of us have their own addiction or vices. We can say we are addict in smoking, in surfing the net for more than regular hours, we are addict in watching different Korean Dramas and many more.

And some and most of the common addictive thing where money matters or involved is what we called the gambling. Especially when you have tried the beginner's luck and win many amount of money and all of a sudden you find yourself regular on the casino playing gamble. But is there a perfect time, place nor venue to stop this addiction so that the hard earned money of yours instead of putting into gambling may put into a better place or means such as investment or other facilities where it can grows.

I would like to hear some of your stories/ or experience regarding and how you have cope with this type of addiction?

Thank you! Smile

I am actually addicted to KPop and anything related to South Korea. I really love their culture that I've spent my entire high school years learning their culture. However, like any other addiction, it had negative effects on me especially with my studies. It wasn't until I reached college that I was able to fully control myself. At first it was really hard but I decided to focus more on my studies because I kind of like told myself that if I would still not take my studies seriously, I'd really end up broke in the future. I guess having a positive and dedicated mind helped me to fight my addiction. Although I still love their culture, I don't do the things I usually do before when I was still very addicted. For me, the best thing that can help anyone control his/her addiction is his way of thinking and seeing life. If you're a negative thinker then it is possible that you'll end up going back to your addiction. But if you are a positive thinker and you encourage yourself and control yourself, then it will be easier for you to stop it. In the end, no one can dictate and change us but ourselves.

Well it all depends on your perspectives. Addiction can turn your personality upside down if your perspective in life is blurred with it. The best way to overcome with addiction is thru your family, having a family that supports and cares about your well being has a great deal for you to overcome addiction.

First and foremost, we should realize that addiction is not really a good way to have some sort of personal development and it gets worse when we are addicted to things that doesn't bring the best out of us. There was a particular period that I was addicted to watching TV on a daily basis and it was really difficult for me to stop.

Repeating the act of watching series of movies made me not to focus on my studies then and lots of others things that I couldn't do. However, everything changed when my results began going bad and I have to adjust amidst pain of doing so. The thing is that stopping being addicted to anything is not really easy, but very possible.

When it comes to addiction, it's way easier than people think. It's so easy to get over it, you just need to be mentally strong and force yourself to stop. Quit thinking about it and find something else to do that will draw your attention. It's ridiculously easy, only if you actually really want it.

It is good to hear that me myself had been experiencing also some moments where you have got been addicted to Korean Drama cause accepting the fact that their drama is having a good story and climax and plot as well plus the attractive visuals of the main characters right? And it is good to know also that You have been decided to live your life in the right way because in the end of the day it is ourselves we can blame and no matter what the equation goes around it will arrived to the answer that it is ourselves only ourselves. Because our future can wait there but it is a matter of time on how long you want to achieve your goals cause that what matter most. and K-Drama is always there every year every single month, another Korean Drama had been released.
