Addiction isn't about substance - you aren't addicted to the substance, you are addicted to the alteration of mood that the substance brings.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It is hard to understand addiction unless you have experienced it.
I think most people will tell you that. They can go along and, while they're denying that they are addicted, say it's stress this, it's this, it's that. But I - it's - I think - I really believe there is a gene. Some people become addicted and others don't.
No one is immune from addiction; it afflicts people of all ages, races, classes, and professions.
It's an addiction... and addiction is something I should know something about.
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 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.
Prohibition of substances which give pleasure to people does not work. Addiction is a health problem, not a moral one, and there are many proven strategies which can reduce its burden.
All sins tend to be addictive, and the terminal point of addiction is damnation.
No addiction is good.
It is not I who become addicted, it is my body.
