I've been pondering a lot lately about addictions, and how there never seems to be an end to them in my life. They are mild, not necessarily ones that would get noticed, but yet they are there. They are also there in the people I love. What scares me about them are not their particular effects, but the fact that there is just such a strong need in me to lean on something. And worse yet... how prevalent that feeling is in our society!
Here is an article I came across that discusses the broad implication of addiction in our lives:
