Hi Miss Abigail , good evening from Philippines, how are you? Hope all is well 😘.

You are right , addiction is a very timely topic , and i totally agree with you that it's not just substance addiction but more behavioral addiction is arising

But before i go ahead , upon reading the first part of your blog, actually the title , my mind already told me that i will confess on my steemit addiction, then by reading it i just laughed when you mention the steemit addicition , whichi think i am into as well , same as you letters C, D and E , hahahaha. you know that before meeting steemit i will actually sleep10 pm but after meeting steemit oh no! i lack sleep so much , and sometimes even i told myself like, say for example , ok since i have posted a blog already commented on others and done so much i will need to turm off my internet on the phone and just do the chores first and finished it , but sometimes it's like my hand got a magnet on my phone i really can't help but check steemit and everything about it from time to time , actually dont know anything or any new updatws about facebook now hahahaha. really, i am convinced that i am steemit addict

In regards to substance addiction , i may say that my partner belong to that group of addicts, cigarette addiction , he is smoking even before i met him , since he's college , i am not sure if it has something to do with what you mentioned about genes , because his father is smoking to up until now 60 years old plus . but really i want him to stop , but i think he's into addiction as cognitive bias , because whenever he wants to stop or i ask him or his mother he will say if he stops it will be hard for his body to adjust, but i think that's a wrong belief of him, he actually tried to stop actual cigarette stick but instead use e-cigarette , i was so happy beacuse it's like he only use that once in a day, but then after a month he came back to cigarette. i pray and hope he would sto p it for his and our health , but maybe that's his way of removinf stress or whatever but still no good for me , he ia also addict to mobile games, oh no!!! hahaha so much

But as for myself only internet addict now because of steemit , so much !!n hahaha, hope i get cured LOL

But as my own reflection addiction can really be because some wants to escape to the reality of life's problem , it can also because of peer pressure, or just because they have aelf satisfactionand enjoyment for having a specific addiction , but for whatever it is , i think it will be all mind over matter , you're still in control .

Thanks for sharing another fruitful blog miss abigail and of course i qanna alwaya thank you for continuous support , we love you so much and will continue to support you

Stay beautiful from inside out , God bless you more
Much love from me and the minis 😘❤️❤️❤️

PS: I am actually waiting maybe in your future post you would have a picture of you so i can see you , or maybe a travel blog or tour on your place , but the real intention is for me to see you

Good night from PH 😘❤️❤️❤️
