With this huge addiction problem how could anyone be against Obama Care? Ignorance is the only answer. Learn more about how Obama Care helps people, maybe not you, but others overcome addiction.

Yes. And I try to be polite- but I tell 'em they're weak. Just like my smoking- its MY fault- no one else's.

Going cold turkey. It's hell, but in the end I know it will be the best thing that could have happened to me. With my dealer/boyfriend in jail, I have no choice but to go through the next few weeks of being sick and getting my life in order after that. It will be hard but worth it! I'm grateful.

I've had an addiction to heroin for one year this march. It became a living hell for me. My dealer became my boyfriend, so I got all the drugs and money I could want. I tried over and over to quit, but the sickness always had me coming back. Two days ago, he went to jail. I'm sick but thankful. I'm

Hey Tops, 'the Irishman's disease' - I've never heard alcoholism called that. Bless your and your brother's hearts honey. God willing I'll have 14 years on Monday...

On my side I might have an uncle or cousin with drinking problems but my husband's side seems to have some interesting characters, his grandpa was an alcoholic and I think that's why my husband can't handle hard liquor.

Kissmyfont it's all about priorities. If your sister's sober that's the most important thing. I was sober 8 years before I quit smoking. First Things First; sobriety has to come first. Some come in and say 'I want to get sober, lose weight, quit smoking, change jobs, etc.' Doesn't work that way IMO.

Holybabble sorry to hear about your addiction to meth, crack etc. At least go to the dentist! That look of death is scary! Now that we know why you rant like you do I'll have more patients for those comical comments! Keep your chin up!

I'm watching one of my (old) best friends snort herself to death by a lethal pill cocktail of everything from adderall, to Xanax, to percocets. It's horrible & terrifying to watch, I grew up with her, best friends since 3rd grade. Most ironic thing is, growing up she was always the goody 2 shoes.

Besides the physical cravings there is usually an underlying emotional need that is not being taken care of. Professionals use Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to help sooth/calm, raise self awareness, regulate impulses and improve relational skills. Many sufferers are people pleasers who suppress

giotto_blu I'm sure you mean OxyContin, not oxytocin. That's just too funny though, sorry. Are the kids trying to induce labor? Haha :-)

My parents were alcoholics. They're both now sober. I am among the few of my friends who doesn't drink, because I refuse to suffer from the same vices as my parents. Unless they've had an addicted parent, they really can't understand.

I was curious as to the question meaning currently-suffering from? I, myself, am an alcoholic, but sober...would that count for my family when they answer?

Most people have an addiction of one sort or another, i.e sex, food, caffeine, sugar, etc. They each carry their own issues and reasons for doing them vary.

No but a lot of my friends smoke pot, a non addictive healthy substance. Why else is it used in so many medicines???

Got some alcohol and tobacco issues in my extended family, so I don't drink or smoke. Not worth the risk for alcohol and not worth the health issues for cigarettes.

I haven't read the comments or have the time read all the comments. People that are addicted to booze, drugs, prescription pain pill, etc. are not "stupid" as I have seen them been called in the short list of comments I have read. They need help and the need our help.

Smoking is drug addiction; since everybody in my family smokes, I answered yes.
