I don't know what that means. Addict as in using or just addict as in personality.
There is that thing - see yourself as an addict for life - and because of that avoid substances.
I accepted I am an addict. Because of that I choose healthy addictions. Because I drive hard at them. Otherwise I'd destroy myself through alcohol and time wasters.
I don't believe ppl are drug fiends when born.
I believe ppl have a choice always.
But I do believe putting an addictive substance in the body can make anyone an addict. Anyone.
Anyone who tries crack and heroin enough to like it will be addicted I feel. Unless their super strong mentally.
I assumed you meant addict, as in once you cross the line in your usage, you cannot go back and not be an addict. I assumed that’s what you were talking about. Like, when you speak in AA and say, hi I’m so and so and I’m an alcoholic. You call yourself an addict even if you are not using.
So, I’m glad you got help and are not in active addiction. But as I pointed out in the other thread, the majority of addicts, even after treatment, fail to remain sober.
So, I’m just saying, just because you are I can overcome addiction, that doesn’t mean everybody can, and not everybody is as lucky.
