Addicts seek ultimate satisfaction, which can be achieved momentarily followed by regret, frustration and a strong urge and need to reach ultimate pleasure and happiness.
The vicious circle never ends, and the whirlpool sinks a person even further in the deep water of addiction.
Whether fulfillment is achieved through food, sex or drug, or from acquiring new items, the satisfaction doesn't last, an impulsive urge to have more and to achieve a state of pleasure grab hold of a person to the point of not being able to fight these urges any longer.
When a person succumb to these needs he becomes an addict.
It takes a lot to stop lighting this cigarette, not to eat a delicious cake, to ignore a beautiful shoes in a window..
And these are considered socially acceptable addictions.
Do you consider any of the above mentioned addiction socially acceptable??
What harm in your opinion they might cause to the person, family and society in general??

Addictions
Addiction is a wide subject to talk about, It was a subject I discussed with my students few years back, their immediate answer to what is addiction was about substance addiction, Although in reality Addictions are many, and society acceptance to these addictions varies.
if we are to list addictions, of course we will start by the obvious, and I invite you to join in the discussion regarding this important subject. chose an addiction and write about your views.
I will list some forms of addiction, and the subject is open to discussion from many different points of view, whether it is from a social, religious, medical or economical aspects.
in my personal opinion, any thing in life that takes hold on a person is an addiction
there are many different forms of addictions, like Drugs, Alcohol, Medicine, Food, Sex, Tobacco, Gambling, Shopping,
some of these addictions are taboos, while others are accepted in societies, despite the devastating results affecting the person or the family or the society at large.
some issues are easy to discuss, like food, Tobaccos and has been talked about extensively, while others are taboos, ignored and not mentioned, maybe they will cease to exist like sex, or substance addictions,
I wish to hear your opinion regarding this matter, as long as discussion are conducted in a respectful way.
How is this subject related to my research,
I want to venture into different forms of addictions, try to explore society acceptance towards it and its bias in dealing with male and female addictions
looking forward to hear your comments
