I stated I know founders that have drug abuse and addiction problems as a result of a lack of healthy strategies to cope with stress. This is much different than comparing a founder to having a drug or alcohol addiction.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. It's great to hear a different perspective. Lots of luck to you and whatever you're working on.

Unfortunately what starts as alcohol overuse, or drug abuse, as a coping mechanism can quickly spiral to full-blown addiction, both for physiological and psychological reasons.
