I believe there's something here to learn.
First of all, have you even realized you need to break free from your addictions? If not, now is the time to make a conscious decision about regaining control over yourself by really trying to kick your harmful habit NOW.
You can’t wait forever for an opportune moment, because it will never come if you don’t want it. Once you decide to quit, make your decision public. Tell your family, your friends and everybody and anybody interested in your well being about it. By doing so, you are making it rather difficult to back out. You are perhaps also indirectly indicating to all of them that you are seeking their support for your decision. Actually, it is important to openly enlist their help and co-operation to help kick your bad habit.
Avoid getting into situations full of temptations. No matter how strong you are, the temptation will be overwhelming. When you are trying to give up sexual addiction, smoking, for instance, hanging out with your chain smoker friends will do you no good. Don’t accept invitations to party, when you know you will be subjected to peer or situational pressure to take the very things you are trying never to use. If you do, you will never come out of your compulsive weakness for a particular drug, drink or smoke or some habit you have decided to kick.
You may need professional help If you are a long-term slave to alcohol or drugs or tobacco or pornography or any of the several other equally harmful substances or things, you may need professional help in addition to the support from your family and friends. After an in-depth look at your case, specialists will chalk out a program for you to follow under their supervision over a specified period of time. Several support groups may join in. Following the rehabilitation program is key to getting yourself back on track. Ultimately, your own will is the only thing that can get rid of the addiction for good.
People under some stress or tension wrongly believe that they can calm themselves and feel relaxed if they use tobacco or alcohol or drugs. They first try to drown their sorrows in addictive substances and habits injurious to health, but end up drowned in their addictions. If only you realize the futility of seeking relief from your grief in addictions, you will never put yourself under the risk of damaging your health and losing your wealth as well as destroying whatever happiness you have had so far. There are better ways to confront and conquer your problems than giving in to addiction.
Outlets for addiction
Learn to relax and rebuild your physical and mental reserves by doing regular physical exercise, meditation or taking to hobbies by exploiting your creative interests. Instead of attempting to escape from reality through the door that addictions seem to open for you, learn to adopt a positive attitude and face the inevitable and overcome the consequences with courage.
YOU are in control
Remember there are few quick-fix solutions to life’s problems. Likewise, there are no easy ways to overcome your addictions. Only concerted efforts on your part will help you in the end. Take control of yourself by training your mind to face life’s tough challenges.
Heart troubles
The past calls us back in
Though atonement we’ve alight
We cry and fry the pains seen
And wish another way this light
Why wail a forgiving past
Though this punishment we must buy
A little line and time to last
For God, so bold, our ways sigh
It’s a matter of time to pine
For a lesson learned, a future gotten
Blame thou not God, your sign
You were forever let go but burdened
Your troubles for the time, your lessons
Only adjust in aligning order bent
For greatness, success, your troubles are blessings
But only God thou to hold none relent

HARD TO COMPREHEND
The issues of the human minds
The throes of life in thinking
The thoughts propelled by different kinds
How on earth can man comprehend?
The thoughts of business and relationships
The bugs of heartbreaks and poverty
The back-turned human burning lordship
Who can comprehend these burning tides?
As the journey goes on differently here
The pangs of different connotations bout
Faces differ, only the best must care
Life only in sphere does exist
Our thoughts probes us daily
What we know is half boiled
Only learning keeps us here daily
As understanding birth peaceful progress
