SUBSTANCE ABUSE : (All-Pervading Pandemic)

My aim in this storyline is to simplify the definition and nomenclature of substance-dependency (addiction) as also few suggestions to uproot it from our system ‘in-toto’. Anything which disrupts your duties and responsibilities is preventable-dependency or addiction. Put in plain words everything under the sun which alters your mood & thought-process is something you need to identify and work on to eradicate from within. Many would be surprised to know that media (newspapers magazines television) android- gazing binge-eating along with the commonly known substances (alcohol drugs sex gambling etc) are full-grown candidates for addictive behavior. ‘In moderation’ is the catchword here. Permanent solution is your Spiritual standing – When the vertical relationship with God is strong vibrant and built on a rock all the horizontal facets of life (Personal professional financial social physical) consequentially will be robust hale hearty and healthy.
