It's not that difficult to overcome these seemingly ghastly problems ... what's hard is to decide to do it.

      As Downey quoted " what's hard is to decide to do it."a lot of people suffer with addiction and they always wonder, when is it the right time to stop and will it actually help me out or will it be a waste of time.

A trigger is being pulled and it releases all the chemical into your body and you get that high feeling that you been craving which gets you addicted cause it feels really good. That makes you wanna keep taking it over and over again.
