The Internet and other Addictions

  
How the cigarette became my ENEMY and at the same time helped me find meaning in my life

 hello, my name is francheska and this time I want to tell you how being addicted to cigarettes made me a different person.

It all started with some people who I met on my birthday and we became good friends, they smoke and I curiously wanted to know what it was to smoke and then  they taught me and I only did it when I used to spend time with them  in the Parque la lira , but something happened in the life that made me smoke more, things in my life began to go from bad to worse and I only found refuge in the cigarette, the cigarette made me feel more relaxed , I slept a lot and I always felt tired, anyway, the cigarette certainly makes us a parasite. one of the things that made me go into depression and at the same time smoke a lot was that I had been docked 3 times and the third time I was beaten because I faced the thieves, since there is everything started to get worse I had no courage to work much less to study, I just wanted to be with friends until I got sick and began to see marks on my face on my teeth my lips were turning black and I was less attractive and besides that I had been wasting time on stupid things and time. well, the big question, How am I leaving my addiction? easy, I started surfing about tours, I found some companies and I started traveling, I changed my circle, I looked for something that would help me to stop smoking, I started writing, looking for what motivates me and the things that motivates me is to travel and know places. One day I went alone to a trip where I met Fabulous people, I bought  maps of the places I want to go ,and you know what, here in the Dominican Republic I only have 4 places left to know, I will finish knowing my country this year , I have done  crazy things like rafting, zipline, paragliding, jumping, paramotor among others, my depression is gone and I only smoke 2 cigarettes a week, it's a progress, I used to smoke 5 a day.
Anyway, this semester I have all the energy because I will continue traveling, I will go to Colombia, Peru and other places next year and it is the gift that I will give myself only if I pass the subjects of the university.

to finish  with this I just want to let you know that if you are going through a similar situation, you are not the only one, many people go through the same and have no one to tell their situation, find what  motivates you, gradually think about how it makes you feel or the damage that can cause to you, look for help do not be ashamed to express yourself and be the best version of you.

If you are going through something similar, leave me your comment.

Unir 1  The internet and others addictions Justt like Bill, i think there are lots of people having this kind of addictions. I can tell You My own experience because i' ve been there before, i know how it feels not to use the internet when you were used to. The sintoms could be almost the same as when you are depressed. You feel sad, alone, you don't want to eat, etc.  I asked some people what do they feel when they don't have data or internet and these were dime answerss: Rubí: I feel bored, i never know what to do.  Nairobi: I don't feel sad. For me it is the same thing to have it ir not. Elizabeth: I can't solve My everyday problems. The worse thing is when you don't have data nor money. I remember once, i didn't have data and only had 100 DOP. I took the money i had to recharge my phone and put data. After i did that, i could do some personal dilligencies and i got more money.  As we can see, people are becoming involved, and t...

The Internet and the other addiction

The internet addiction.       Fist of all, for me the internet is a new technology that has impacted the world and provided many benefits of its users. At the same time internet has had a negative impacts, some people are becoming preoccupied with the internet, are incapable to control their use. The internet has becoming a incontrolable addiction it can damage your family, work and you relationship. Some people think that internet addiction it isn’t real but for me it’s,  I often see how the families are destroyed due to this addiction because the husband is passing hours seeing pornography or the wife chat-room lovers,  also, people are loosing their life savings on gambling web sites online. In my opinion we needs to be careful in how we use the internet and for, because believe or not the internet can be a headache in your life or a benefit; it going to depend  on how you use and manage  it.

Unit 6 - Spiritual Renewal All around the world we can find many people that practice different ritual. We have different religions and each person go to their favorite or just the one they feel comfortable with. In this unit, called “spiritual renewal” we analyzed  the different rituals that some people practice. The one that call my attention the most was “fasting” which is a practice made in different religions. Fasting is when someone decided to stop eating for a specific time with a purpose. Most of the reasons are spirituals. I think this is a beautiful practice that people decide to do. I have never done it but it I could I would. I really like the spiritual practice, it just get ourselves more relax, and algo help us to get closer to God. I think everybody should have their own spiritual practice  in order to get closer to each of us. It is amazing when many people from an specific church get together to create an spiritual environment.
