The origins of addiction can be both external and internal. External factors include exposure to substances, peer pressure, and societal influences. Internal factors, such as personal beliefs, low self-esteem, and negative self-talk, can also contribute to the development of addiction. These internal struggles can make it difficult for individuals to cope with everyday challenges, leading them to seek solace in alcohol or drugs.

Addiction can have harmful effects on various aspects of life. It can strain relationships with family and friends, negatively impact work performance, and take a toll on physical and mental health. Prolonged addiction can lead to feelings of guilt, shame, and isolation, further exacerbating emotional distress. Seeking professional help through counselling can be an effective way to address and overcome addiction, leading to a healthier and more balanced life.

Addiction to alcohol or drugs can deeply affect relationships with loved ones, reduce social support, and negatively impact work performance. Managing it effectively is crucial for overall well-being. Seeking help from a counsellor and addressing the root causes can alleviate its negative effects.
