Gambling rule is to stake wat u can afford to lose. Not your life savings.

The worst addiction is drugs. It will drain your purse,body and mind.

Phone addiction is difficult to break.
Imagine waking up first to do is to start pressing your phone just know you're addicted
It depends on what you are using your phone to do.

Many uses it for business and to get informed
So getting addicted to something that benefits you isn't bad

For me, addiction to anything is bad.

It shows you’re not in control…psychologically or mentally.

Mmkpuru mmili and colos is the worse addiction.

I have never taken them but I have seen people lose themselves from it.

This addiction can show and people will notice that you are no longer yourself from a distance.

Fear who no fear drugs but I won’t lie, The love of beer is tearing me apart… I won’t sleep till 4am without at least 3 bottles or more

Personally...... Carbonated drinks.

It might sound funny but before now I can't but atleast a bottle of coke in a day. Imagine me having goosebumps shivering, dysfunctional and headache if I stayed away from it. I was so addicted that I once drove from Jaji to malali just to fuel this addiction. Note..... Fulani ranch in malali sells the best chicken in Kaduna to me then hence the icing to make the addiction beautiful.


I lost myself into the addiction of coke and Pepsi for years..... The funny thing is most people didn't know I was battling my biggest demon as no one sees anything bad in coke or Pepsi. But deep inside, my sugar level was not having it.


Glad I broke free sha. I stayed off carbonated drinks totally for the past 7month now. Just blended fruits and water. To top it all, I won't even take chemicalized products.

This might not hold water to many of you, but masturbation no even hold me like the coke did as I cured that immediately I had a steady partner.

We all have our opinions on the worst addiction, but if you ask me, I think it's drugs.

They are some addictions that have been normalised. Sugar addiction is one of them and the funny thing is it kill on the long run. That coke addiction not everyone like to admit that they are but in reality they are

Porn is among the worst addiction because of its easy access....in the 70s_90s, it was not easily accessible and addicts had to smuggle VHS/VCD tapes to secretly watch it.

But now it's so free and comes in various formats to the insatiable thirst of addicts.

I have never started anything I cant stop. Name it I have done them all and stopped at my own volition.
I smoked Indian hemp and stopped when I was almost caught by my mother and I knew she would be heart broken. The fear of disappointing her was too much so I quit.
I was also introduced to gambling and after my friend who introduced me sold his car to bet, I borrowed myself sense and stopped before I get to that stage unfortunately my friend is still stuck there.
Sex is normal and I am married now with kids so I gotta stop playing outside game.
Alcohol too was stopped cos my wife dislike it and I did that for her.
Overall I think I have good control of my bad habits and stopped them when it matters.
everybody can stop. bt we are talking abt addiction. u stopped cos u didn't go deep into it to be addicted.

So don't feel good abt something everyone does

Betting...

Man, addiction to that stuff is damn crazy...

Funny as it may sound,but that's the fvcking Truth....

Just yesterday,a passenger boarded my keke and he was telling a story about how he lost his 6k to visual betting cheesy. Funniest thing was
It's not gambling its ignorance. Apart from betting, we do lot of bad things out of ignorance like working as a civil servant for 35yrs or working in a one man company for long

SadiqBabaSani:
If you thinking drugs is bad, you may be correct but you see gambling!! It's evil

At least for drug addiction it's illegal, a little deterrent is law enforcement, but gambling is a legal evil, imagine that,


Why is gambling not. A crime?
It is not a Crime because Govt says it is not a Crime!
And Govt says it is not a Crime because the Gambling Entities Contribute a Lot of Money to the Govt Coffers, in form of Taxes, Event Sponsorships and Bribes.

Drug usage, distribution and sale is illegal but nothing about Gambling is illegal, even though it has destroyed and keeps destroying millions of lives.
Such is Life. grin grin

Supporting Tinubu and BUHARI even in your suffering.


That's the worst for now.


😭😭😭😭
Dont worry, keep trying, you will overcome very soon, at least you are half-way there. wink wink grin grin
God is your strength.
Re: What's The Worst Thing Someone Can Get Addicted To? by Nobody:
its an equation: if your desire to quit is stronger than your desire to continue the addiction, you will stop and never look back.

Increasing the desire to quit and at the same time reducing the desire to continue the addiction is the critical task many fail at.


shilenji:
It's nice to be back on here really, a lot of changes have happened on this great platform.

I dropped a thread a few years ago about how I was able to stop smoking a few years ago, check my profile.

Now, I've been thinking lately about how I was able to stop that addiction and how I never looked back. Recently I stopped gambling too it's been 9 long months without giving my hard earned money to bookmakers. I'm wondering if other people find it this easy to quit a bad habit.

I hate to admit that I find myself addicted to a lot of immoralities and I've taken it upon myself over the years to TRY to QUIT these things. Recently I stopped watching porn I started at the beginning of this month so far so good, though I get the strongest urges to go back into watching porn, eventually the urge might win but for now I'm winning.

So Great minds, have you ever been addicted to certain things and have you been able to quit? If yes Drop some tips for those still struggling?

Cheers to all great mods of nairaland and all members in general. It's really nice to be back.

Everyone here commenting doesn't know they have one or two addictions . Phone can be an addiction, always on your phone.
Some has addiction to movies,Some music. You put ear piece for the whole day in your ear listening to worldy music. Some are addicted to women, some men etc. Some are addicted to reading . I have seen a guy run mad in school from too much reading. Stop feeling like you are free , all of us are in bondage.
