Addictive personalities?

[cooki]

Hi All,

Just wondered what weight anybody holds with the "addictive personality argument"?

My first thought is that sits side by side with the NA way: I WILL BE AN ADDICT TILL THE DAY I DIE-which I'm not 'down with'.

My second thought is that although I'm on methadone maintenance and no longer use street drugs, I'm currently 'using' 5-8 bars of Galaxy Cookie Crumble chocolate bars a day and if the shop shuts before I've managed to 'score' I'm absolutely gutted....

On bar number two right now. If I didn't have my fix, I'd go to bed: it wouldn't be worth the agony of wchocolate withdrawals....hmmmn.....

So, wondered, what other socially aceptable (or not) things are YOU 'addicted' to, and IS it an inherent part of your personality or genetic make-up (aaahhh) to be addicted to SOMETHING...always...???
