Addiction can strike at any time and does from the sneaky sneaky approach to the one hit your it.
Addiction does not judge or discriminate, for all who wish to indulge in her pleasures have Free will and do so at their own risk. (This is not the case for all though)
Addiction doesn’t have a Lair as such, but the feeling of being caged in & trapped with no possible chance of escape is real enough that will challenged the strongest of minds.
Addiction doesn’t have any shape, form or mass, but it can be observed from a shopaholic, alcoholic, right up to someone with an over inflated ego. You only have to observe a humans response to monitor the addiction kicking in. Denial seems to come hand in hand with addiction as if it is some sort of security programme, a sentry of some sort?
Addiction has no qualms with what her [host] does in their day to day activity as long as it doesn’t interfere with the Addictions existence.
Addiction doesn’t seem to have any qualms of being found out, discussed or observed, as she knows that Denial is always at DEFCON 1.
Addiction does seem to have a voice though, a niggling voice that is always pushing & pushing, whether its telling you to do something or not to do something.
Addiction seems to have a symbiotic relationship with her [host] as she can reward with the feeling of ecstasy & euphoria, or turn the screw of emotional & physical pain when her requirements are not met.
Addiction only seems to have two vices.
- Feed Me.
- Do Not Challenge Me.
Is it just possible that Addiction does indeed have a physical form, shape & mass, but is known throughout history as the Archons?
Note:
Notice how the media and those whose shit doesn’t smell like to interpret Addiction into two different categories.
- Addiction amongst the wealthy is an illness & one needs to be sympathetic.
- Addiction amongst the poor is a cancer that scum get & needs to be distinguished.
Addiction is a real problem that wrecks not just individual lives, but whole families, societies including the eco sphere itself.
People with an addiction need a sympathetic ear & help & not to be cast into the naughty corner for not complying with the norm.
