In the hospital we see addiction every day. It's shocking how many kinds of addiction exist. It would be too easy if it was only drugs and booze and cigarettes. I think the hardest part of kicking a habit is wanting to kick it. I mean, we get addicted for a reason, right? Often, too often, things that start out just as a normal part of your life at some point cross the line to obsesive, compulsive, out of control. It's the high we are chasing, the high that makes everything else fade away. The thing about addiction is it never ends well because eventually, whatever it is that was getting us high stops feeling good and starts to hurt. Still, they say don't kick the habit until you hit rock bottom, but how do you know when you are there? Because no matter how badly a thing is hurting us, sometimes, letting it go hurts even worse.
