"addict"

Whe you think of the term addict, what do you think of? What is an addict to you? If you are an addict...what did you think before you came to terms with your disease? I am an addict in recovery and am doing a paper on addiction...so if you could help me out, that would be great.

An addict with a stronger urge of pills, meds,herion,alcohol, attention anything that affects your day that u can't control the thoughts of your addiction.

Making sure you have enough in your med kit to last 2 days. always. Sorry situation. But that is where we stopped.Now we have to learn new mind ques that don't make us crave the med that much.

Much more on this in the foroum, this was my little step one.

Hey Natasha..we wrote each other over the past day or so..do you have an addiction problem AND you are writing a paper or just writing a paper? Just wondering. Maybe I can answer my own personal thoughts if you still need info.Let me know.
Natasha,

An addict is someone who uses drugs and cannot control use due to cravings. Addiction is a biochemical brain disease. There is a new treatment on the horizon, and it's called GVG. It stops the cycle of addictions and their cravings.

An addict is someone who deems themself addicted to any type of drug. The only person who can say they are an addict is themselves. No one has the right to call anyone an addict but themselves.
