No long story! The only way to stop addition of any kind is through self-restraint. By the way, don't forget that an addiction is different from an inherent behavior.

lajoshua:
The dictionary defines addiction as “a strong need or wish to spend as much time as possible doing a particular activity” .so you see in it self addiction is not an evil or bad thing as most folks are made to believe,this is suffice to say every man is addicted directly or indirectly,consciously or unconsciously.It is part of the intricate nature of man,as a matter of fact every man must be addicted if not he is dead.
Now lets come to the part most folks have issues with which is the part of morality in

addictions,which comes down to what you are channeling your addiction to.You know there is this saying that”if you sow an act,you reap a habit,sow a habit reap a character and vice versa for character reap a life”.so simply put addictions are habits that have become a part of us.Addictions can either be productive or unproductive.productive addictions are those which impact on you positively and vice versa for unproductive addictions.
CAN YOU STOP AN ADDICTION?
You cant in the sense of “stop” really stop an addiction,its just like saying you should start doing nothing .Habits are a part of our everyday lives,it is inherent in humans to act,ok lets be practical someone is addicted to sleeping a lot then ask him to just stop oversleeping just like that,what is he to do between those times he is not sleeping as it were.You get the picture now ,you see addiction is like energy it cant be broken down it can only be converted.
NOW,WHAT ARE YOU TO DO?
When apostle paul in the scriptures urged the Ephesian church (eph 5:18) about being filled with the Spirit he likened it to drunkenness,a lot of people have always thought this passage says don’t drink well I wont go into the exegesis of that today,but what he was really saying is just the way a drunkard is addicted to drinking you likewise be addicted to being filled with the Spirit.In this passage is the key to dealing with addictions which is by moving from unproductive to productive addiction ,what he is saying is instead of you being drunken with wine which is unproductive why not convert it to being filled with the Spirit that is the same energy you put in getting drunk put it in being filled with the Spirit and you would loose taste of getting drunk.
Therein lies the key addictions can only be converted,you want to stop an unproductive addiction then convert it to a productive habit/addiction.example: are you addicted to pornography convert it become addicted to study,online research or online courses.
Are you addicted to oversleeping convert it become addicted to exercises,to a course(purpose),a job,a task,prayer.same for cheating on your spouse.And yes I acknowledge the grace of God in it all,but if the young rich ruler jesus met could keep the law from his youth then you can do it.put your mind to making it work,you might fall here and there but then those are signs you are making progress.
Its part of the learning process,keep at it and you would overcome.looking forward to hearing from you.God bless you

Rick9:
SMH at your thinking, so you mean you have actually met all humans on earth that are addicted to Smartphone,
You want me to prove you wrong abi ? I won't only prove you wrong ,I will also prove that this your argument is invalid.

Questions for you.

1 - Have you met all humans in this world ?
2 - Does every humans own a smartphone ?
3 - Every humans that own a smartphone is it all of them that are addicted to the list u mentioned above ?


Prove that your argument is invalid.

Your argument fall under the A Categorical Proposition

Let me translate it

All Humans on Earth are Smart Phone Addicts


Does that makes any sense at all. According to George Boole on the Boolean interpretation, the A proposition has no Existential Import ok .

Now if you Venn Diagram this your argument, it would be Invalid .

Fallacy that you commited are 1 Hasty Generalisation , 2 Existential Fallacy.


Next time u use the I or the O Proposition.


Instead of saying that

All humans on earth are smartphone Addicts

Say

Some humans on earth are smartphone Addicts.


#Peace no take am personal oh but u just gat to clarify your thoughts next time.

jojothaiv:

Rick9:
Thanks oh am honoured, I just detest fallacious statements with a passion

jojothaiv:
Hmmmm! We're on the same wavelength man...

What i see on Nairaland this days are just opinions based on selfish interest rather than fact!
