Addiction can become a routine. The pattern of substance use or behaviour can be hard to quit since it feels normal and comfortable.

Physical and psychological cravings can be intense. Withdrawal symptoms can make quitting uncomfortable and make people return to the addicted behaviour.

Social and Environmental Factors: Peer pressure, norms, and environmental cues can foster addiction. Being around the substance or behaviour can make it harder to resist.

Loneliness, boredom, and sadness can lead to addictive behaviours as a coping technique. The desire to feel better can overcome undesirable results.

Loss of control: Addiction may negatively affect brain function, making it harder to manage impulses and make rational decisions. Loss of control can foster addiction.

Emotional Intelligence – Self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, social skills and coping mechanisms help to overcome addictions. You become aware of the driving force behind the addiction.
