What’s Your Addiction?
“Anything that alters your mood can become addictive,” says WebMD.
“Is addiction to shopping or texting the same as being hooked on drugs or alcohol? We know these things can affect your brain in many of the same ways.”
According to that same source, these are our Top Ten Addictions. (I’ll only add that they’re all socially acceptable to some degree —)
Smartphones
Caffeine
Chocolate and Other Sweets
Shopping
Gambling
Plastic Surgery
Tanning
Exercise
Social Media
Sex
— “If you feel you have a habit that’s out of control, talk to your doctor or a therapist,” says https://www.webmd.com/mental-health/addiction/ss/slideshow-surprising-addictions?ecd=socpd_fb_nosp_7002_spns_cm1507_conmkt&fbclid=IwAR2ixekkcF15Snlp5x5qW-T6MCYTBp7A_BdiS3F8c7phR346RVzKWU1rrX4
How’s that list look to you?
Yeah.
And this appolies to not just us in our youth, but at all of our ages and stages:
Let no one despise you for your youth,
but set the believers an example
in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.
1st Timothy 4:12
