Addictions
Today, I am going to talk about an issue which is affecting my life in some terms and I think, it is a major problem for many people living in our planet. When we hear the word of addiction, it usually reminds us of alcohol and smoking addictions. They are serious addicitions indeed, but actually there are more of them which are affecting our lives deeply. To be honest, I should admit that I have got some serious addictions like steemit, drinking too much coffee and using mobile phone.
There are also some unusual addictions that might causes some serious problems on individuals. One of them is addiction of love which is being researched by many people indeed. Love might seem so innocent but there are really sad examples of love stories which turn into tragedies..All addictions, in small or big scale, are really dangerous in our daily life.
Coffee
Coffee is one of the most serious addictions in my life. As a typical teacher, I love it a lot and I know that I don't taste it anymore but I can't stop it either. This is actually something that my mind accepts. When I have breaks at work, I usually make coffee immediately, not caring if it is tasty or not. I don't feel thirsty at all but this is temptation that leads me to drink coffee constantly. When I look for the reasons of this addiction, the first reason is the caffeeine substance that controls my brain in a way which directs me look for coffee all the time. This is one of the most common addictions, that's why I have stopped taking sugar in my drinks.
Mobile Phones
Mobile phone is another serious problem in our daily life. I have watched a documentary about this type of addiction. Some volunteers are put in a room and asked to sit together around a table. There are about 12 people in a room. Their phones are left on a table and they are asked not to touch their mobile phones. If they manage to keep their hands away from their mobile phones, they will be rewarded with some money. At the beginning, they are all fine with the situation but later, they start getting messages on their phones which make them feel curious a lot. As they want to feed their ego and curiosity, 10 out of 12 people grab their pnones and fail the competition. As we can't control our feelings, we let our addiction take control over us.
Love
" How deep is your love? " do you remember the song of The Bee Gees ? Some people experience the feeling of love extremely. They feel it like a drug which helps them to fly with happiness. What makes the drug dangerous is the effect that leaves on people after they use it. It is exactly same with love. People love their partners with passion and feel that is going to last forever, but unfortunately not all of them end with happiness.
We shouldn't forget that people might change in long time periods. Nobody is unchangeable. People might lose their interest early or late in their relations. We sometimes let the addiction of love take control over our lives which leave us desperate in the rest of our lives. As I told you above, there are sad examples of this kind of addiction which cause stories of tragedy. People might kill their partners as they feel that it is the end of their lives when their partners leave them. Isn't it all same with the drugs?
Steemit
Steemit is another addiction that affects many people, including me. It might sound funny, but it is always on mind when I am busy with my other things during the day. I always feel the temptation to check the rates of crypto currencies and want to see if my posts are upvoted or not. I know that I should control myself and find a way to stop this addiction which is trying to ruin my daily life.
On the other hand, I wish that all addictions would be like Steemit as I have the chance to express myself on this platfrom and get some profit as well. Do you have any of these addictions that affect your life? Thanks for reading and have a nice day. Steem on!

Your posts always amaze me.
Every time i see your post, i always feel happy and happy.
You are right @teachblogger.. These all are addictions and are horrible.. Facebook and steemit to.. Yiutube is also..
That is true, but I am fine with steemit. I have given up using Facebook :)
Video games is another addiction that I was struggling with. One reason that I am Okay with my steemit addiction is because I've turned my gaming habbit into sharing my life with others in hopes to inspire while making money along the way. It's nothing but a struggle and I don't make much money. Right now I am making more money in crypto then I am in dollars on a daily basis.
