A lot of people think they have their habits under control and can stop whenever they want to. However, this is not true. Many people do not even know they have addictions or are in denial. They justify their addictions by believing they have them under control. However, it is not in the nature of an addiction to be under control. If you are addicted to something, you may be ignoring or unbeknownst to the effects it is having on your life.
