So many people out there in the world are addicted to something whether its drugs, alcohol, gambling or other kinds of addictions. Either they became that way through someone influencing them or they chose to become that way on their own. Other times people grow up with it in their homes people they live with are addicts and because they've seen it in their lives they've also become that way. And also some other people deny that they have a problem and choose to ignore it and carry on and it becomes worse.

Dealing with addictions can be a hard thing to do facing the reality that you do have a problem and you do need to do something about it. People can be scared and afraid of speaking up saying something is wrong with me and they can be shy or scared to talk about it. Some people can wait and pretend that there's nothing wrong with them but then they become sick and are forced to go do something.

Confronting someone about their addiction problem is hard but if they are family or a friend then you want to be their and support them through this hard times. Having people to talk to it is helpful and also being there to listen to someone hearing about how they feel giving friendly and helpful ideas to make them feel better. Some people may not like being confronted but if you really care about them they need to hear it because if they have no one else to turn to you should be there for them.

When you dealing with people who have addictions you need to be careful with how you say things so they don't feel bad about themselves. Use inspiring and encouraging words when you're talking to them and don't look down on them or do things to discourage them. When they heal and get better and things are looking much better for them they will thank you for that even though at the time it seems as though you're picking on them.

Speak up and don't be scared to talk about it

Face the reality and deal with it.
