Question by Seeker Of Painful Truths 2: Do people use the term “addiction” as a way to control people to do as they desire?
I ask because it would seem to me that based on what experts say, “addiction” is bad for you. Yet when ever the word “addiction” pops up, people usually use it like this below:

– PORN addition is bad
– DRUG addiction is bad
– ALCOHOL addiction is bad

None of that make any sense to me because I thought it is “ADDICTION” itself that’s bad. If thats true then why the need to specifically point out what kind of addiction it is? It should matter what the addiction is because the problem is “addiction” itself.

I think that people have clouded the term addiction so much that it’s meaningless. I think when people have a real problem like alcohol addiction or what ever, the core problem isn’t that they are heavily into alcohol, but that they are seriously UNBALANCED.

‘Unbalanced’ (I just made it up but makes sense to me) means you are so heavily into a certain thing in life that the good things in your life are fallen apart. But to say “addiction” is like saying a bad word when in actuality we are all truly addicted to many things in life on a daily basis that doesn’t hinder our lives, but instead, betters it. I’m addicted to reading for instance, hardly a bad thing.
@darkeyes – So then, “love” is an addiction. It can make you miss an important meeting, forget to eat, and fore go fun things you normally would like to do. Depending on the perspective of the viewer, this “love” is non-productive because it’s taking time away from other aspects of your life, and unhealthy because the butterflies in you’re nervous stomach as you miss the one you want is hindering you from eating.

But just because things like “love” fall into the terms of “addiction” doesnt make “love” a bad thing. Again, this is why I think the term “addiction” has been polluted.
@hayley – That is a VERY smart answer! Agreed ot the MAX.

Answer by Milla ^.^‿
Almost every addiction is bad, just some have more negative affects than others.
Drug addiction is the worst obviously. Then some drugs are also worse to be addicted to than others as well.

Addiction is seen as deviance, which is; behavior that is recognized as violating expected rules and norms.

Answer by Iggy
Habituated is another good word, it has that snob value that comes with big, important sounding words that haven’t yet been overused in reality TV, or printed under the face of a “celebrity” on the cover of a magazine sold only in supermarkets.
I aim to get some mileage from it before it becomes as passe as “twerking”.

LM is one of the better companies out there.

Any insurance company, however, will only pay what is legally required of them. No more, no less.

Your best bet is consult with an attorney.

Good luck.

Question by Amberly: What can my doctor do for ambien addiction?
I want to get off of ambien and sleep aids all together, but when I try to do it myself, I get extremely sick and can’t stop shaking and vomiting. If I make an appointment with my doctor, what can he do for me? I dont feel that my problem is big enough for “rehab”, but I definitely know that I need some sort of intervention.

Answer by Dexter Morgan
You can’t quit cold turkey. That is very bad for your body. You need to gradually reduce your intake and your body will become readjusted and no longer need it. Talk to your doctor about your desire to stop taking it, he will advise you how eventually quit. But you can’t just stop taking it all at once. Tell him the effects when you stop taking it. You need to GRADUALLY reduce your intake, most likely over a period of a month or two. I’m not a doctor but I know if you stop taking medication and try to quit cold turkey your body will react badly.

He can advise how to quit SAFELY and alternatives

Melatonin is a natural sleep aide that is non habit forming.

Answer by dot
No you wont need rehab for this
But you do need help from your doctor to do it
He will slowly and gradually get you off them
You are making yourself worse by trying this yourself
