CONQUERING ADDICTIONS is like FREEDOM FROM BONDAGE
HAIKU
By
VIKRAM KARVE
I feel quite sad when I see so many individuals addicted to things like tobacco and alcohol.
I know a doctor who smokes. He knows that smoking is injurious to health but he just cannot stop smoking.
Another acquaintance of mine who is showing signs of becoming alcohol dependent just cannot quit drinking, though everyone tells him that if he does not quit drinking alcohol, he soon maybe on the road to alcoholism.
There are some who are addicted to gambling and they cannot stop gambling though they know that gambling can ruin their lives.
There are so many bad habits, vices and addictions.
Conquering an addiction is attaining freedom from bondage.
More than 10 years ago I quit smoking and drinking.
On the occasion of World No Tobacco day I re-posted a blog post I had written long back about how I quit smoking.
The is given below and also at the end of this post, in case you are a smoker (or know a smoker) who wants to quit smoking.

But before you read that blog post, please read the Haiku below titled "My Minerva Moment" I wrote many years ago to celebrate the moment I quit smoking to describe my freedom from the bondage of smoke rings.
