Addiction

I've been trying to think of something to write for the last couple hours. I've been keeping myself awake until I get something posted. I haven't been able to come up with much, but here is a short "journey through my mind":
I hate how quickly and easily I get addicted to things. I stopped playing games on facebook because I spent way too many hours playing them. My 8 year old niece invited me to an online game, probably less than a month ago, and I am very addicted already. I may need to stop playing altogether. It's not just games though. Alcohol has been one of my addictions over the years. I am getting better at keeping that under control, but still struggle on occasion. I am thankful I haven't experimented with drugs 'cause I do not doubt where that would lead me. I am curious as to why it is the "negative" things I get addicted to, but not the positive.
