Reply #5: A point I would like to make concerning addictions... [View All]

Hell, I have had most all of them at one time or another. So I am coming from my point of view and experiences only. Just because one is able to give up the vice, it still has a tendency to rule your life.

An alcoholic does best avoiding bars. A carb addict usually shies from the sugar laden isles at the supermarket. A junkie avoids their old junkie friends and hangouts like the plague. A person who is quitting nicotine has to avoid certain triggers.

My point is, an addict spends life in "avoidance" mode.
