When you are addicted to something your mind is focused on that particular object. For example, if you are addicted to watching Netflix, your mind won't allow anything else to get in the way of that object. So you will feel like you don't have time for anything else. Like family, or work, school, social activities. Your life will become centered around that thing and you will become obsessed. Being obsessed with something isn't healthy. It is bad for your body and mind. It can effect everyone around you including yourself in such a way that you will feel different. When you are in a group you will feel different, left out.
Breaking that addiction is hard work, and can take a long time. But it is possible. Sometimes you might feel like it's not worth it. Like the pain of fixing it is less than the pain of the addiction. Don't ever think that. It might feel that way. In the end it will be worth it. The feeling of the weight lifting off your chest will make everything better.
I hope as you go through life you remember this. And if you face addiction you find the courage to overcome it. I believe in you.
