We all have to struggle with some sort of addiction in our lives and it's not necessarily about drugs and alcohol. In fact, an addiction can even be the simple fact that you're turning to a certain behavior on a constant basis, like aggressively reacting to what other people comment. This too can be called an addiction as long as you're doing it on a regular basis and the outcomes coming from it end up hurting you. You might feel that it brings a temporary pleasure, as it's nurtures your famished ego, but on a long term, it doesn't do you any good.

Always complaining and parading your victim hood can also be called an addiction, as you can get so caught up in it that it becomes like a daily practice which you feel you cannot miss on. You reach a point where you simply find comfort in crying for others' pity and being a victim becomes like a statement for your life.

Like with any other addiction, you can get rid of it. You have to put in a lot of work, but with tons of patience and determination, you can get rid of any behavioral addiction darkening your experience in this life you've been gifted with. Impulsively reacting to any comment others might make regarding your person can be removed from your system, if you truly understand that others' words will never count in how you need to live your life. Playing the victim role all the time can be something you can get rid of if you understand that acting like this will only put a dark curtain on your eyes and you won't be able to see that there is something more to this life than just the pity parties you've been throwing so far.

Addictions are tough, but they can be wisely handled to the point where you can even get completely rid of them. Understand that you are in control and you can end up all the negative cycles taking place in your life. You just have to fully acknowledge that you don't deserve such bad consequences to shape your life and so, you need to focus on living without depending on anything and anybody.

Tattoo your brain with setting yourself free from any addictive behavior which doesn't do you any justice! Treat yourself better!
