In this book, you will discover there is a thin line between having bad habits and having an addiction. Having established that both grow out of repeated behaviors and patterns, it is difficult to distinguish between them. Specifically, one notable difference would be the amount of effort and time we need to put in to alter or change our behavior. To get rid of a bad habit, you would require a fewer amount of effort/input and time whereas, to get rid of an addiction, you would require more time, effort, and strong willpower.Bad habits would cause less harm compared to the harm done by addiction. The Bad habits/propensities could be anything like procrastination, nail-biting, laziness, not being on time whereas, addiction would be smoking cigarettes, drinking way too much, masturbating, gambling, taking drugs, etc. The silent killing thing about addiction is that it convinces our mind to believe that a harmful thing/substance is beneficial to us and therefore the mind perceives it as a necessity and when an addict cannot get it, he becomes emotionally devastated.Finally, a bad habit is a negative behavior developed from repetitive actions whereas addiction is a compulsive need for things or substances.Join Doctor Innocent George as he exposes all you need to know about behavioral addictions and living a healthy lifestyle, with zero levels of depression.
