amy, u're correct. one addiction is subtituted for another. a vicious cycle of abuse. the disease of addiction is aptly called. unless a person honestly takes a self appraisal of their using the cycle will only get worse. we are running from something in our life and don't have the wherewithall to choose to stop any mood altering substances. but it can be done. i know that can work. my whole being has had a positive transformation for me by my abstaining from it all.
