Although purely anecdotal, I strongly agree with that point of view. Alcohol, drugs, and other kind of addictive things, for a great part turn into addictions with negative impact on people's lives, when they are a coping mechanism. I have yet to meet an alcoholic or drug addict that has an otherwise perfectly normal life. I don't mean "highly functioning alcoholic", I'm talking about your stereotype addict. So far all of them have had one thing in common: their life was not headed in a direction they desired, and they couldn't see (an easy enough) way to get moving in that direction. After that, any substance or excuse or anxiety was "just" a coping mechanism. Not sure if this makes sense, just needed to say this I guess. |
