Hamster ,

Yes I take Halcion and a xanax for sleep.( your memory amazes me

Genetic, you are correct no one knows if they can be addicted whether it is to alcohol or fast food or eating the entire tub of icecream or a 10 lb cheesecake .. All of those things can be an addiction and will harm a person health wise ,and I would guess depress a person.

In general I just worry that someone will come here asking for help and opinions and they only hear the negatives.... I personally enjoy hearing everyones thoughts, But I am at a place in my life where I can decide what it good in my life and what is not.

OP good luck I hope you can use all the replies in a way to works for you in your personal life.
