Obsessions

 Obsessions and Addictions 

These days those two words seem so common, we have got familiar with them. It is anything but a surprise finding someone with any king of addiction or obsession.

Let's talk about why. Why would someone become addicted to something? Truth is, most of the time they are thought to be a way out. Out of problems, worries and everyday issues. 

A drink, a cigarette. Even obsessions like losing weight, eating disorders, addiction to exercise are just some of them.

Let's talk about what specialists say. As incredible as it seem, yes, it can be genetic, according to this research, it has been found that 50% of alcohol addictions is due to genetic vulnerability. On the other hand there are a bunch of other factors that are also part of these issues like environmental factors, referring to the conditions in which the subject develops, personality can play a fundamental roll specially in subjects looking forward for new feelings or impulsiveness also if they tend to be sad searching in this obsessions and addictions the cure for sadness.

Most of us can't deny that we have been taught that none excess is good, the thing is that we barely notice whenever we start this kind of behaviour. First of all if you start using it as a way out of your problems, it'll probably become an addiction eventually given that the problems won't go away by avoiding them. 

I'm no expert to talk about these topics but what I can do say is that no matter how much you run from issues in life, there always will be new ones to solve. Because the way I see it that's kind of what life is about, it is about learning and how you learn? stumbling and getting up, having a problem and solving it. Soon or later you must do it, why making it worse carrying with an addiction.
