Another excellent read of standout quality Abigail.
You'll notice I pop up from time to time on your page with a comment, and this subject is one I cannot avoid, a bit like an addiction I guess.
I've struggled for many years with addiction, some good, some certainly bad. If I gain an interest in something, I seem to fall deeper and deeper in 'love', and my thoughts are overwhelmed with this particular craze.
Collecting stamps
Computer games
girlfriends
drinking
smoking
exercise
marijuana
internet chatting

I'll throw my heart and brain into 'subjects', losing much of what is around me during this time.
I understand that too much of something, even if it is perceived as a good thing, is not healthy, but even with understanding I'm still likely to repeat the same process.
You can probably guess what the current addition is. However, I will leave the computer alone for a few hours now and head outside for a bit of balance.
Thanks for the space here to write.

Hello Dear @abh12345 :)
It is my absolute pleasure to have your always interesting comments! I was pleased to read your understanding towards the fact that nothing is good in excess. As I don't feel particularly comfortable with the belief of 'good addiction'. But, after reading your entire comment I now know what you meant by that.
I know a couple of people like that too. My personal view on this topic is that we all seem to be prone to addictions, not to the same degree. This is when I resort to the biomedical models as they highlight genetic predispositions while also taking into account individual differences such as personality types!
So glad to hear you were going to have a break from the computer for a few hours!
I wish you a wonderful weekend and all the best always.
Hi @abigail-dantes
I'm really sorry I didn't respond to your message. I remember reading it, and then.. well I don't know what happened, apologies.
Would it be possible for you to explain this part of your reply a little more, I suppose I should activate google search :)
I remembered this post because of another I caught up on today, and have pointed him over here too :)
Thank you, and apologies for not getting back to you earlier.

You have nothing to apologise for 😊 Thank you for taking the time and for being always so thoughtful. I am going to check that other post right now :)
