'We see addiction every day. It's shocking how many kinds of addiction exist. It would be too easy if it was just drugs and booze and cigarettes. I think the hardest part of kicking a habit is wanting to kick it. I mean, we get addicted for a reason, right? Often, too often, things that start out as just a normal part of your life at some point cross the line to obsessive, compulsive, out of control. It's the high we're chasing, the high that makes everything else fade away.
The thing about addiction is, it never ends well. Because eventually, whatever it is that was getting us high, stops feeling good, and starts to hurt. Still, they say you don't kick the habit until you hit rock bottom. But how do you know when you are there? Because no matter how badly a thing is hurting us, sometimes, LETTING IT GO HURTS EVEN WORSE.'

How do you know when you hit rock bottom?
There should be a line, like a barrier or something, that should state: "You are hitting rock bottom. Please return to safety mode."
I think it's you who should decide which is your barrier. The border between normal/addictive. There's gotta be that tiny little drop that'll make the glass spill and it will make you open your eyes. It just takes a longer time for some of us to get there, but when you're finally there... the pain caused from the split is the only natural thing to follow. And they do say that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Anyway, my point is: take your time. Don't force yourself to hit that rock bottom. It'll happen, sooner or later. Life takes care of that, don't worry :)
