Discussion Post

Due in 4 hours

Watch at least one (if not all) of the three videos under the "Misc. Videos" module and then post what you think now when you hear the term "Addict," and how the video(s) and the material covered to this point has, or has not changed what you think when you hear the term. 

 

What I thought when I hear the term before:  

The first thing that comes to my mind when I hear the term addict, is self-harmed addiction. Which can be, habits, smoking, heroin, marijuana, medicine, and any other type of substance that may cause temporary happiness. Which eventually became a repetitive action in order to be a continued enjoyment or relaxation. At this stage, it became a harder addiction to stop. These addictions fall into the category of recoverable addictions they can be treated if the person is willing to change this habit.
