Speaking in a recent episode of the ‘MENtality’ along with singer Banky W and social media influencer Aproko, Ebuka revealed that he started smoking in JSS3.
He explained that he smoked for 13 years and was taking two packs of cigarettes daily.
“I started smoking JSS3. I smoked for 13 years. By the time I entered university, I was smoking two packs a day. I was a heavy smoker,” he recalled.
Ebuka said that he eventually gave up the addiction after making deliberate efforts to overcome it.
Similarly, Banky W revealed that he got addicted to p0rnography while trying to overcome promiscuity.
He explained that he thought turning to p0rnography would make him less promiscuous.
“I was trying to battle p0rnography and decided that instead of moving from woman to woman, I should just be watching p0rnography,” he said.
Ebuka added that a lot people also made the similar mistake switching to a new addiction in a bid to avoid the previous one.
On his part, Aproko doctor said many negative addictions developed as a result of people seeking escapism.
“Human beings have two ambitions. The first is to avoid pain. The second is to chase pleasure. A lot of drug use comes because a lot of people are trying to avoid pain,” he said.
The trio emphasised on self-regulation and self-discovery as important tools for overcoming negative addiction.
