10 Things That Make You Happy

What you do every day matters more than what you do once in a while.

The blame for addiction stretches for miles.

It covers everything from depression and tough times to a little something to help you sleep and a little something to help you stay awake.

Also, the drug of choice has a much-desired ability to mask negative thoughts and temporarily bring the user happiness. Once the drug has worn off, the addicted person is then forced to deal with reality again and might turn to another “dose” for relief.

You may be thinking that addictions such as alcoholism are inherited. Truth is, only
