| It is my opinion that you could substitute many things for the word alcohol. It's really not about the substance or behavior it's about addiction and responsibility.
People eat everyday but not everyone eats to excess where food causes health and wellfare inssues for them.
People enjoy a healthy sex life without taking it to the extreme that it causes calamity in their life.
People attend religious services regularly seeking guidance and community without it becoming an obsession that controls every facet of their life.
People are prescibed medications everyday for the control of pain and disease and are able to use them in the manner directed.
People shop for goods without it bankrupting theirselves and their families.
I think that reading this you can think of someone whom you know or have known that has allowed something, wheather substance or behavior, to become an addiction.
Addiction, unchecked, by it's very nature ruins lifes.
I would also like to add that I believe every person has at least one addiction. It's all in how they control and take responsibility for their addiction(s) and their actions.
Again this is just my opinion.
