Hi there,

I love the honesty and innocence and rawness in your post

First off, labels do NOT help anyone. Second, things are not that black and white in life. What one person considers an "addict" may be totally "normal" to another. Finally, let's say there's a book written by the geniuses of the world that calls you an "addict" ... umm ... SO EFFING WHAT ?!!! Who cares ?!!! What does that really amount to, in the end, when you're in the wooden box under two feet of Earth ?

Some people want sex more than others. Some people want commitment, others don't.

None of that matters. Here's what I think does:
1 - Enjoy your youth. Enjoy your life. Very important !
2 - Stay safe, to the best of your knowledge and ability.
3 - Treat others the way you want to be treated.

Lots of things in life are a gamble. This is definitely one of them. The only way you're gonna figure this one out is by going out there and doing it. Get ready for some fun but also some hurt ... i.e., LIVE ! Or, alternatively, sit at home and watch yourself get older each day.

That's my two cents
