BTW - I imagine my stories are tame as hell compared to the ones some of you fellas could tell.
Dan - SLAM DUNK!! Holy shyte man...But sometimes the strangest things get a girl's attention. Did she ask you to marry her?
cdc, I agree that wired-in succeptibility has got to be a factor. I just like to hope it's not THE major factor though, because that would mean there's not a lot that could be done to address the problem. If a big part of it is a conditioning/behavioral issue, then education, awareness, deterrent and rehab strategies - not to mention good old parenting and discipline - have a chance of making a dent. |
If you look back, access to drugs has produced a lot more addiction - I had a brother that became addicted early in life - it was something to do (sex, drugs and rock & roll, primarily sex) but life went bad because of it - he got himself cleaned up and never went back. He died recently from complications from that period of time. Such a waste! In his case, he wasn't wired to become addicted - it was an elected lifestyle, resulting in the way out being his choice versus brain wiring with no way out.
It's my understanding that 'meth' use, even one time, can produce addiction - so, that's a whole different craving scenario that has kids addicted really young. Now that stuff gets to your teeth.
