Any addiction is not necessarily a bad one, but most are, such as gaming or watching TV. Those two are worthless pursuits, TV often has immoral and unnecessary content, the news side isn't accurate, and gaming is normally full of language, and highly suggestive themes, and over all, could be easily substituted

Steps

1. Identify what addiction you have. It may be smoking or gambling. Or something less significant like a certain colour or televison programme. Whatever your addiction, there's a healthy way to stop it.
   
2. Consider activities or habits that are more worthwhile. If you're a heavy drinker, think about what damage it's causing to your health and life span. Instead, drink smoothies or good, healthy water. They're much better for your health, and you'll live a much longer, happy life.
   
3. Replace your addiction with a new hobby or healthier habit. You could try reading, writing or joining a club. Exercise helps clear any unwanted thoughts from your brain, and is a healthy way to think straight and live.
   
4. Try and join a club or group that can help you with your problems.
   

Tips

• If it is a more serious addiction such as smoking, I would suggest seeing a physician or doctor for help and reassurance, and if this would be acceptable, I would recommend seeking help from the LORD, Jesus Christ.
