A lot of people think that addiction is a choice. A lot of people think it's a matter of will. That has not been my experience. I don't find it to have anything to do with strength.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It is hard to understand addiction unless you have experienced it.
People who have never had an addiction don't understand how hard it can be.
There are all kinds of addictions, and I've got every single one. If you set me in front of anything, I will do it until I ram it into the ground and it's done working for me.
I think I have an addiction to pretty much everything. I mean, I have to be very careful with myself as far as that goes, which is why I have a support group around me consistently.
I think that addiction is a very, very important thing that has to be treated, but has to be treated as a health problem and not as a police problem.
No one is immune from addiction; it afflicts people of all ages, races, classes, and professions.
We may think there is willpower involved, but more likely... change is due to want power. Wanting the new addiction more than the old one. Wanting the new me in preference to the person I am now.
No addiction is good.
Addiction is a really hard thing to kick.
Trying to overcome addiction is one of the hardest things for a person to do. And the fact that I had to do it under the scrutiny of tabloid press at first made it seem even more difficult. But in fact, it oddly ended up being a plus. Because of the tabloid stuff, it wasn't like I could walk into a bar and order a drink.
