Quit Addiction

We may think the following of abusers, “Why don’t they just make themselves give up on drugs? All they need is willpower.” Please think of things in your own life (a favorite video game, friend, favorite food, television program, or comfortable bed) that would be hard to give up if someone asked you to do it? Could someone make you quit your habits if you did really want to quit them? None of these things have the kind of physical or psychological effect on them that a drug could have.

Nobody could make someone quit your habits if you didn't really want to quit them. You must want to quit with much willpower for it to be possible. Though a person has willpower, it is still very difficult for one to discontinue a drug addiction, especially because it has a physical and psychological effect on the person, causing the body to be dependent on the drug. Though it will be hard, it is still possible with family and friend support, rehab, or other endorphin-releasing activites.
