who me?
anyway I am exaggerrating when i say they are stupid. They can't help their faulty genetic code. Also some studies have shown people who were abused as children have faulty pleasure receptors in the brain. So environment plays a role as well. Addicts literally can't help themselves. Only through extreme measures like massive self discipline and support groups can they succeed in staying clean.
Science has already shown evidence in an "addictive" gene within humans. and I can see firsthand how it works in my city. Nearly everyone in my city who gambles compulsively also smokes. Coincidence? I think not. And it doesn't take a genious to figure out my city also has a bad drug problem.
In time science may be able to affect brain chemistry and reduce the chances of addiction.
But I think it is necessary to be self aware. My father was an alcoholic. My brother uses drugs. I realize that I may too have an addict gene in my genetic code. I began to realize this in the navy. In 2 short years I nearly became addicted to alcohol. Technically they say I was addicted. But I think I stopped in time. I drink occasionally, but hardly more than 2 to 5 drinks a month.
My advice? know oneself. And don't put yourself in a situation to become addicted to someting.
