I'll use drinking for this example, though I'm more of a polyaddict. Could one responsibly drink outside of a mood episode, but then as an episode develops the drinking becomes problematic again, but when the episode subsides you can drink normally again?

Sorry, but one more thing...I would be kiddng myself if I thought I could have one drink in an episode, or even when I'm asymptomatic. I, too, have an addictive personality. I also abused weed, and I still struggle with a food addiction which is, in part, due to the fact I'm taking APs. I'm the only one who can decide to put the fork down when I'm full. Again, perhaps I'm just weak, but going to Weight Watchers meetings does help. I'm a big proponent of support groups...as if you couldn't tell...
