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.

The hardest addiction to overcome is sugary stuff

Nothing good about bad addiction
But you see that gambling...........
Your life go dey spoil, you sef go know say
E dey spoil but you no go fit do anything about am.

I have almost zero addictions. Maybe sex, but I'm not addicted to it. I currently have zero interested in it with the rise of infections in almost every woman in Nigeria and these women don't use protection.

My current addiction is BTC, watching VDM's videos and being alone. I doubt those ones are considered addiction.

I really hope I can stop gambling
That shit is ruining my life

Bro pls how were you able to stop
Give me an honest advice cos that virtual has ruined my life

Drug is worst thing anybody can get addicted to

Most celebrities that ever got down from Whitney Houston to Jackson,all got killed by drug,drug won't only make you loose money,u will loose ur life in it

Surely not money and/or success.

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 . Funniest thing was

It never makes sense to me that gambling or betting can be an addiction.
No be money you go dey use play?
How someone becomes addicted to such thing?

CoronaVirusPro:
Gambling!

Should have been drugs or Alcohol, but those don’t give you good health or lifespan to last long on the game.

Gambling kills slowly, and even when you rock bottom, it still doesn’t go away. Gambling is a religion. False hopes till you hit the grave.

Gambling can never be an addiction. It doesn't make sense at all. How can something that doesn't give any physical pleasure becomes an addiction?

Walking, urinating, eating many more

Drug won't just messed you up,it will take your life

occfx:
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

What's bad about been a civil servant for 35 years?

96ACE:
Scrolling endlessly on social media is a dangerous addiction.

I agree.

Social media addiction is destroying people codely...

Gambling

Gambling

And Gambling,


It kills slowly

It's a big lie
Gambling doesn't give any direct emotional feelings or pleasure, how can one now become addicted to such thing when the person is not SLOW?

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?

Gambling should never be what someone will be addicted to, it doesn't make sense at all.
What physical or emotional feelings or pleasure do you get from gambling?

The approval of other people. A healthy amount may be okay, but when you can’t move an inch without the approval of others, that’s ultra slavery. Every type of addiction is a slavery essentially.

Pornography, Masturbation & Gambling

Sport betting.

Na demonic addiction...flee from it!!!

They don't end up well. They are addicted to the routine. To me is like a drug. It doesn't add anything to there lives yet they keep doing it. May be one day it will change but it's another type of addiction.

You get drin lazy and if you don't eat well you will get sick. Masturbation and for men is hell if you're addicted to it.
Only dose addicted to masturbate will understand how mysterious it is. Your penis keep getting smaller and dysfunctional

There's absolutely nothing wrong with masturbation for both genders. It's actually healthy in fact.

It's you people that think you're wiser than yourselves that keep spewing this crap.

Una still dey get addictions inside this great tinubulation?? End shall never wonder!!

But kobojunkie don nearly peel him d**ck due to w**nking.🥱

Chubhie:
Then marry one of the Os and knock yourself out bruv?

Your brain is limited
Normally human brain is limited but we think we know all .

Develop self awareness and have a honest conversation with yourself while alone, that's what I did I got angry that it took away a lot from me especially my peace, I just developed a hatred for it from them. I had that honest talk with myself and stayed grounded. I feel you bro YOU CAN DO IT TOO
