Struggling with an addiction I've been struggling with this addiction for over ten years. In fact, some say that what I've been doing is not an addiction, it's just a normal thing. However, to me it's not normal and I'm doing this periodically. I began doing this stuff when I was a high school junior. At the time, I was overreacting to my friends who had been doing this and saying how bad this was and I would never do such a thing. One time, one of my friend told me that you were going to get addicted to this and would do even more than us doing now. I remember how I replied: 'Me, never. That thing is not for me, I would never do.' Unfortunately, My friend was right. I began doing that thing maybe just days after that conversation. It's really hard for me to quit it. Every time, I try to quit, I do again.Nonetheless, I know that just because I fail to quit, does not mean I should quit quitting. I'll try again and again and hopefully I''ll clean myself from that.
