Sometimes you cannot fathom the addiction but its there. When you have an addiction to drugs or alcohol the addiction isn’t necessarily to the substance but how the drugs or alcohol make you feel during or after. The addiction can serve as a relaxant, anti stress medication or even a rush feel and because it gives you that relaxed feel or rush you want to do it again and again until the need for it evolves into an addiction. The same is with entertainment or technology. For example, you come home melancholy from a long hard day at school and want to unwind from the days stress. So you watch a torrent amount of t.v.., get on your phone for a while, watch Netflix or play games which makes you feel less stressed from the day and it calms you down. It gets your mind focused on something other than your cause of the stress or the stress itself. When that happens everyday and you need the entertainment or technology to keep your mind off of the stress or stressor it becomes an addiction. It can be the same with drugs or alcohol also, for instance if you have one drink every once and a while because you have a bad day that isn’t an addiction but if you need the drink or substance in order to continue with your day. It is incomprehensible the amount of people that have an addiction but don’t realize
