I've already kinda come out as an occasional. Yay weed.

I find it so far better than alcohol as a distraction that now I actually dislike being drunk, and haven't been drunk in 10 years. It's a control thing with me.

JeepN, it's a shame, that probably 10% of people have addictive personalities, and I bet that in another decade the docs will have solved that. It's at different levels it seems. My s2b-ex's sister has such a powerful problem that she literally can't be left alone with money for five minutes, or she will locate the nearest booze store and be drunk immediately. She had previous problems with coke and was snorting it during her second pregnancy. She's in her mid-40s and is losing her teeth from alcoholism. I think she will be dead in ten years.

Another friend of mine knows he has such a personality and simply controls it by avoiding things that kick his instinct in. We both know and understand that I should not invite him on an Atlantic City trip because he will gamble all of his money and try to get more out of ATMs.
