Who Is In Charge?

Why handle responsibilities under an influence, when you can comfortably make a choice and take every step in your right senses?
When an athlete dopes to win a race, should he/she be congratulated or should the dope be?
After watching some stage performances, it may be difficult to choose whether to acknowledge the performer or to acknowledge the drug or stimulant that was in charge.
It is common to find people ingesting different things into their system in order to control their moods or disposition.
A number of times, we consider alchohol, cigarettes, caffein and a whole lot of other things as stimulants for certain moods, alertness or courage.
Some of these things may or may not be contraband but it is best for a responsible person to be in charge and not leave the control to some drug or stimulant.
There are common health disorders that may occur and would require their victims to perpetually remain on medications to be able to stay alive or get things done.
If you consider such cases, you would definitely not leave yourself at the mercy of some addictive stimulant or drug voluntarily.
Imagine if you need an injection to smile or a syrup to laugh; wouldn’t life be boring?
I know how difficult and monotonous life may seem for people who have to regularly inject insulin into their system. I always wish that such people get healed to be able to live their lives normally. Yet, many people voluntarily subject their bodies to certain things that would take charge of their emotions and productivity. So sad!
I prefer to be able to stimulate every kind of emotion or mood naturally.
I shouldn’t desire that a drug should give me courage or that some drinks would make me agile. Why should I abandon my responsibilities and keep living on such things perpetually?
It’s time to break out from addiction!
I don’t know how much thought you have put to it, either for yourself or on behalf of a loved one but I see addiction as a plague that must be controlled.
We must take charge of our lives. Our decisions, feelings, composure, productivity, happiness, etc, shouldn’t be left at the mercy of some external substances or experiences.
What habits have you developed that you are unable to break?
Does it have to do with your relationships, feeding, drugs or something else?
The big question is; who is in charge?
Better be!
Just don’t be enslaved to an addiction or a habit.
Don’t leave yourself at the mercy of some substances or circumstances.
Take charge!
Let's go there!
