Nope - I don't believe that everyone has an addiction. Sure there are lots of people with unhealthy coping mechanisms, but I also believe that there are lots more people with effective coping mechanisms who do not have to engage in mood altering substances or behaviours to cope. I know several of them. So to me saying that everybody has their own addiction is a cop out to keep from admitting one's own problem.
