I definitely have an addictive personality. First it was alcohol, stopped that because it wasn't a problem yet. My second go-round with it was a problem. I drank like a fish for a little over 3 years steady, till my best friend committed suicide. Still drank for 6 more months until I had an epiphany. Also doing prescription drugs. Quit all that on my own. Fallen off the wagon once in 13 years. The pills, tho, they got to be a huge problem a few years ago. Had to have help this time getting off them. My p-doc gave me suboxone, and that helped tremendously. Been clean for a few years now. Never want to go thru that again!
