Re: Television Addiction

Well Ash, here is a surprise….we agree………..YES… we are stimulus seek missiles….YES….100% we are, without a doubt!!!! Like any trait of strength it often has a double edge!!!! True almost all studies indicate we tend to feel the heavy pull towards anything like, booze, sex drugs, fast motorcycles, coffee ……….. and yes TV also falls, or can fall, into the mix too….for sure. Yes…. our propensity for seeking stimulation can and does have negative impacts on many of us (by the way the above list is not inclusive by any means)………so the fact remains….an overwhelming number of us ADDers are obsessed, addicted, incarcerated, homeless and more……….all of that is true. Examples of that abound.

I guess maybe ……maybe… the question might be….what I can I do about getting off this path or re-directing it if I’ve fallen into a destructive addictive/compulsive pattern??? In my youth I too was on a very very risky path (I won’t get into details) and my life could have gone another way many times. Was my ADD stimulus seeking behavior part of my high risk behavior…….in part, yes, it was a contributor!!!! So as I said previously……we agree we are a segment at risk!!!

As for being labeled “self righteous”…YES…YES…and YES….your also correct in that assessment!!! I am outraged continuously, day after day with regard to the state of our society and the people whose plan it is!! The flagrant intentional manipulation of our society as a whole by a very very miniscule percentage of the the population, whose sole intent is to accumulate and polarize wealth and power, through what I consider immoral practices, TV being a major tool of that manipulation, makes me crazy!!! I make no apologies for speaking out and speaking out with vigor at any or every opportunity I find…..to rage against the machine….that is presently driving society back into a feudal type system. So if I come off as righteously indignant….GOOD….I think more people should be……and be loud about it too!!!

I have no idea how many people get that, using the media all of the media (which they own 100%)……to seduce, mesmerize, placate and mislead the social masses in order to further subjugate their greed needs to be exposed…..and shared….and raged against!!! How’s that for a an ADD rant…….

So if you have fallen victim…..that’s no surprise…..although it is a shame they get to claim another good person, I don’t like to hear that!! There are ways out, there is help as Robbo said….never quit trying……try always…..it is the good fight, well worth the effort!!!

My guess is your stronger than you think…….we all are!!!!!!
