RE: Addiction – An Overview

in #psychology6 years ago (edited)

Ha! Coca-cola addiction, huh? By the way, this is an awesome photo you shared here. You have so many talents my dear @churchboy :) Now I am worried about your health because of all that sugar! Let's see if we can change that! Shall we? :) I am already jumping to the conclusion that your Coca-Cola addiction fits within the Rational Choice Model. Well, this is definitely the case of another good friend of mine who repeatedly tells me his life is much better with Coca Cola 😒

Our widespread internet addiction worries me because of one reason that I discussed with another reader here. We live in a world where behavioral addictions seem to be the norm; for example: internet, shopping, processed food and so forth ... So, we end up being pressured to follow a very unhealthy norm! Then we start to experience mental distress because of it, like with the example of when your smartphone crashed! For me that is a case of nomophobia, and just in case you haven't heard of it, here is a quick definition:

Nomophobia is a proposed name for the phobia of being out of cellular phone contact. It is, however, arguable that the word "phobia" is misused and that in the majority of cases it is another form of anxiety disorder.

I am so pleased to hear you consciously avoid behaviours and substances that could possibily lead to addiction. I suppose this is partly because of your personality! Either way, having this sort of awereness definitely puts you in advantage. So, let's see if we can start reducing the intake of coca-cola! 😉

Thank you for stopping by once again my dear, your support is invaluable!
All the best to you always. Lots of love :*

Dear Abby, you know I would quit coke for you :)

Yes I think that my coke addiction fits with the Rational Choice Model too. Whatever model it is, I am confident that it is an addiction I can kick. For one thing it is messing with my figure:)

We have all been so excited around here: my brother's wife had a baby boy!

I hope that your work will allow you do posts once in two weeks as you promised.

I don't need to know psychology to posit that you are an awesome human being. I knew that this reply would be here even before I came to check. My failure to reply immediately was no failure at all. I figured we have two weeks with which to talk to each other here so I didn't want to rush.

Thank you for your kindness. Being here does not feel like support: it feels love. I wish you and your family all the best and a little bit of warmth from Nigeria ❤️
