Addiction
kids let's talk about addition in this especially chilling queensland winter morning (3 bloody degrees!).
first can anyone tell me what is an addiction? yes tommy? yes addict to chocolate is one kind of addiction, anyone else? Maggie? well done! gambling is another huge addition problem facing the society today. but wot really drive addiction and forces people in droves to such locations as casino, poker parlour, local RSL clubs? it's called the inner urge.
let's analyse inner urge in detail here: an inner urge is an intrinsic desire or sometimes uncontrollable emotion to do something. that's right kids, uncontrollable. let's say you are addicted to something as harmless as your RSS reader to get that very precious daily dose of news that have no bearing on your life besids fill your brain with wot's happening elsewhere in this world. you've just discovered the goodness of RSS and realized you never have to troll your favourite folder every day to see whether your friends' (or foe's) blogs have been updated. wot do you do? you are EXCITED of course! aren't we excited kids? now what we do? yes we come back again and again and again to check whether anything's new in our RSS reader and that becomes an? INNER URGE! yes the addiction is born. partially it's due to the new-ness of the whole RSS experience, partially it's due to the pressure from work being boring and all, we seek easier alternatives in our brain unconsciously. you can say it's kind of a self-protection mechanism so our brains won't burn out, but in many if not most cases, it's detrimental to our daily productivity, just like when i'm here talking to you kids while i should be working....
anyway, now we understand that inner urge grow out of seeking for easier alternatives and wot makes it stick though? is it the fun? maybe, is it the challenge? likely. but wot's common for something that's addictive? it's BAD.
so how to combat addiction? rehab you say? how did u get that by the way you are only 5... did u have a television addiction?? we combat addiction by mental power kids. we have a schedule and tell ourselves how important it is to finish on time and realise the consequences and we hence stick to our schedule in fear or consequences. that's right, clearly write down and layout consequences for your action and addiction and stick to schedule! let's fight it!
