SOLUTION TO ADDICTION FROM SELF...

- November 03, 2020

I was addicted to watching videos from so many months, though it gave me so much information but at the same time it diverted me from my work, my study and the actual things that I want to do, in which I am interested in. In my case I like to travel and to know about history. I watched so many videos related to travelling for native places and for the places over the world. I like travelling but watching video in very high numbers is not appropriate that I know. For exploring new places, I have to go out to travel irrespective of distance and time that thing I also knew.

I like history subject consequently I started watching videos on internet that was also a reason of my addiction. Watching videos will not be appropriate for me but for getting information, I have to read books which allow me to get even small information. Books have publishing standards; videos of that standard may not be available. And moreover, reading books or travelling one can do for so many hours compared to watching videos. Watching video may cause strain in eyes after one or two hours.

One month ago, I understood this addiction and tried to get rid of it. After few days I started procrastination to leave watching video. Procrastination is a real thing that we did not understand sometime. It can destroy one’s life in so many ways that even one’s enemies will not wish.

If I talk about myself, I spent hours and hours on Internet, watching video that was where procrastination happened in real way. I kept aside all my study, social life and my own health status. I gained almost three to four kilograms of weight. I went far from being called tall and handsome guy to a depressed and fat guy who did not even move an inch for countless hours watching video. I am writing this subject to express how can anyone like me get rid of watching videos without consulting psychiatric or long conversation with elders.

When I understood it as an addiction, I started to find ways to avoid it, and after some days it gave me a final wake up call. I was in addiction and I should not deny it. I went on searching the ways to get out of this addiction. I searched the ways on Internet and it suggested me few things like meditation, reading good books, talking to parents or friends, even consult a psychiatric. I tried some of it but it only suppressed my addiction but did not cure fully. In this process I found a way from myself, I kept on comparing myself now with myself three months ago, my past days when this all started. I recalled all the memories of three months back when I was not addicted. I compared all the things like my aim of life, my personality, my habits, my day to day interaction with people in real life, my health status, my ways of dealing with stress events and leading a happy life. I found so many real differences in this comparison. I found out so many real and logical differences in both time. I also questioned myself what I wanted to be towards what I was tending to! I found myself in a new version of myself. And solution of my addiction was in front of me. Later on I also realised, questioning from my own self had the answers of all. I did not have to watch motivational videos or attend therapeutic discussions. I also found a way of self motivation. Self-motivation and questioning from my own self cured my addiction. I also hope anyone can get recovery from the same if anyone has the same addiction.
