Most of us say that addiction is a matter of choice and not a disease.
This is true in the initial stages of addiction.
We must consider addiction as a disease when somebody is out of control or reaches a point where he/she cannot live without the addictive substance.
At this point, the person has lost the power of choice and has a tendency to relapse into the way of addiction to stay and normal.
Recently, many people are falling a prey to various addictions and are wasting their life by indulging in these substance addictions.
They get addicted to a substance even after knowing the harmful effects because it gives them temporary satisfaction and helps them in stress-relief.
Yoga is one of the best drugs to achieve satisfaction and happiness and can help people in getting rid of their other harmful addictions like smoking, drinking, gambling, etc.
