Topic -Addiction
 An addiction is an urge to do something that is hard to
control or stop. If you use cigarettes, alcohol, or drugs
like marijuana (weed), cocaine, and heroin, you could
become addicted to them. They can really hurt you and
could even kill you.
 Some people take their time while others go from zero to
60 in a short period of time. No matter how long your
journey is, most rehabilitation counselors agree that there
are four main stages of drug addiction: experimentation,
regular use, risky use/abuse, and drug addiction and
dependency.
 As we all know that excess of anything can be
very dangerous, the same way, addiction of
any kind can hamper the life quality of an
individual. The phrase states that addiction is a
family disease as one person uses and the
whole family suffers. The above statement
stands true in all its essence as the addict does
not merely suffer but the people around him
suffer greatly too.
 However, that does not mean they can’t be helped.
Addiction is curable and we must not give up on the person
who is addicted, rather help them out for a better life.
 Cost of Addiction

 Addiction comes at a great cost and we need to be able to

recognize its harmful consequences to not let ourselves or

anyone become an addict. Firstly, addiction has major
health hazards. Intake of anything is bad for our body, and
it does not matter what type of addiction it is, it will always
impact the mental and physical health of a person.
 For instance, if you are addicted to drugs or food,
you will get various diseases and illnesses. Similarly,
if you are addicted to video games, your mental
health will also suffer along with physical health.
 Moreover, people who are addicts usually face
monetary issues. As they use that thing in excess,
they spend loads of money on it. People become
obsessed with spending all their fortunes on that one
thing to satisfy their addiction.
 Addiction is an inability to stop using a substance or engaging in a
behavior even though it is causing psychological and physical
harm. The term addiction does not only refer to dependence on
substances such as heroin or cocaine.
