Answers:
Five signs:

1 No problem!. I just want to try it!.

2 I LIKE it!. It won't hurt!.

3!. I can quit any time!.

4!. There's nothing wrong!. Everyone does it!.

5!. I can quit any time!.

Actually, there's only one: "I can quit any time!."

Ask: "Why don't you!?"

Answer: "No one's getting hurt!."

The "I just don't want to quit" is the defining moment!. They don't want to because they are addicted!.

Most addictions are fun!. No one wants the fun to end!. Fun is OK, as long as the cost can be endured!.

Addiction to illegal drugs leads to poverty and possible prosecution / death!. Addiction to legal drugs leads to poverty and possible death!. Addiction to tobacco leads to certain early and painful death!. Addiction to motor sports or gambling or video gaming or any other addiction leads to poverty from over spending or poor earning!.

Poverty, in and of itself, is not bad!. Jesus was not poor!. But if you lose your home because you spent the mortgage money on drugs or dumped it at the casino, your children will grow up very differently!.

Addiction is not good, as it can be described as being the victim of desire, whether it be sexual or economic or experiential or hopeful or any other!. At any time a person is compelled by any outside influence to any behavior, that person is addicted!. Whenever that behavior is detrimental to success or to family or to paying the bills, it is dangerous!. An addiction to XBox may seem harmless, until an unwillingness to go to work endangers financial stability, or until the children are ignored, or until an education is ended!. At that point, the video game is as dangerous as the drug!.

Regardless of the behavior, simply ask: Quit!.

If the response is "I can quit whenever I want to", simply ask, "When will that be!?"

You will then have your answer!.

In the cases that the behavior is "justified", as " I haven't been able to sleep since daddy died unless I drink wine!. My doctor knows about this!.", then you are doomed!. So is the addicted person!.

Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
