So Baby and I were sitting up last night watching "Intervention" on A&E. It's this show where addicts agree to participate in a show about addiction and then the family of the addicts ambush them with an intervention. Some people make it and others don't which is the sad part because you want them to go to rehab and get help and get well.
Well, Baby and I got to talking afterwards and we were discussing personalities types. Actually I have the personality of becoming an addict. So when we started talking I realized that addictions come in different forms. Some might be addicted to painkillers, medication, drugs, or alchohol. Others might just be addicted to the anticipation of the effect of these things in thier system. Some other people are addicted to the mental aspects like an emotion or a behavioral aspect like attention.
Either way it is clear now that I need to be more careful about how much or how obsessed I become with things. I kept thinking to myself that I could never get to the point of this lady I saw on tv yesterday but after that interesting conversation I realized that maybe I could.
I mean I am still battling my eating disorder every single day. Some days are better than others. So maybe that is my addiction. In the end we are all addicted to something.
My question is this: Are all addictions bad?
