ecoTrain Question Of The Week #19: What are you addicted to and how does it help or hinder you?

in ecoTrain4 years ago

I was reading a couple of posts from @erikah about addiction, and i thought it would make a great topic for the Question Of The Week. Erika has recently given up coffee, which is just one of our favourite global addictions. Some addictions are more obvious than others, and addictions include all natural foods, medicinal plants, mental habits, psychology, and behaviour patterns. For many of us our addictions can be quite healthy, whereas others can get out of hand and take over. Gaming was the theme of last weeks Question Of the Week, and that is a great example of an addiction that can get very out of balance. Many of us are addicted to things we may not be aware of, and dairy products and cheese are a great example. Cheese contains casomorphins, that are mild opiates, and that is the reason why people LOVE their cheese so much.

So this week we ask you to share with us what you are addicted to. You can dig deep and think of things you may not have thought about before. You can share about things that you feel are good addictions, such as exercise, love, sharing, giving, and god. You can also of course share things that you feel are out of balance and not healthy, such as smoking, alcohol, violence, etc.

If you enjoy writing about psychology id love to hear about why you think we have such addictive tendencies in general, and why some people seem to have a more addictive personality than others. Are we just born like that or did our lives somehow bring that upon us? Whatever you say, whoever you are, and wherever you come from, we would love to hear from you! Also if you have found ways to help beat addiction please do write about it and share your experiences.

Another awesome question of the week. Hopefully I'll get to take my time to answer this one. I've shared for more visibility, hopefully we'll get many participants.

Addicted to independence and cannabis. I am free and no one can touch me. I wouldn't say its disassociation so have very little impact on my quality of living, and keeps me focused on my business. I just keep to myself and always smoke cannabis if in a social situation to change the atmosphere, I do not like to participate in status quo or conventional beliefs on human existence.

All I see is potential and experiences to be had, nothing can prevent me from that promise to myself, having an experience.

Saludos al equipo de @ecotrain , cada semana las preguntas son todo un reto jajjaa, ya empiezo a preparar mi post.

Un saludo cordial a @ecotrain, cada tema aún desafío que compartir, seguro que estaré hablando de mi gran vicio.

Hola, Me interesa el tema, puedo aportar mi experiencia con el tabaco ¿Puedo publicar en Español o es preferible en Ingles?

Hello, I am interested in the subject, I can contribute my experience with tobacco. Can I publish in Spanish or is it preferable in English?

Hello excellent question, I will try to participate this time !

Very Interesting question. I will make a time to participate. More power @ecotrain community.

This is my first participation in ecotrain question of the week:

https://peakd.com/hive-123046/@tonytrillions/my-addiction-to-coffee-and-why-i-quit-it

looking forward to participating in more questions like this.

Hello Alex, I'm glad you saw some good in my posts and asked the community to share their story.
Here's mine
https://peakd.com/hive-123046/@erikah/what-are-you-addicted-to-and-how-does-it-help-and-hinder-you

I wish the question was more centered around sustainability/ecological concerns. For example:

  • How does your addiction take away from global sustainability. Does it affect sensitive ecosystems? Increase the global carbon footprint?

nice idea! maybe ill do that next time!

Addictions are as good or bad as we allow them to be, I think at the end of the story we all have at least one addiction, this question was really good! Here my participation in this week!
