Addiction never seems to be something that is solved or fixed, whatever. It always seemed to be more about replacement. AA always seemed to me to be the replacment vice, ie. addicted to the 12 steps. (Not that there's anything wrong with that). When I quit smoking cig's, my pot intake definately compenstaed for that loss. I definatley believe that without habits, people would not function. I certainly couldn't. Without my addictions, I don't know, some I could live without, as long as they're replaced by something even better. I wonder what the difference is between a habit and an addiction. Which come first?
