There is something with all addictions, (I think). They have this hold on the victim, the power to make someone continue with it even when you know it is wrong to do it. The power that makes you say I will do it "just for this last time", we never see the last time. One still ends up in the same undesirable situation. Human weakness.
We fall for the trap because of the thought of that temporary joy we get from doing the additive act. This is done even when you know you are not suppose to be doing what you are doing. Willing to avoid it, but not using the power you have to do what must be done.
It takes extraordinary courage to fight all addictions. Even when it seems easy for some people to overcome addictions.

*I became aware of this term "hagira" recently in my quest for more wisdom. A term which refers to a "journey especially when undertaken to escape from a dangerous or undesirable situation". (Merriam-Webster Dictionary).
