What Lead You To Your Addiction?

Hello all, I am doing a research report on addiction & what leads to it & it would really help me if you all could tell me what lead you to your addiction. I would really appreciate you input & if you can @ least give me a last name w/ you comment so I can quote you in my paper. Thanks so much, e-mail me FlutterbyChk16@aol.com with a subject of "Research Paper", other wise I most likely will delete it. I know this might seem personal & thank all of you who do answer.
Hello again. Bad news. My teacher said that my question of "what leads people to their addiction" is something that even doctors & physcologist 3 times my age have trouble determining, so I have been forced to change my question. BUT, I still need your help! The new question for my paper is "What can be done to help those with an addiction?". Please help me w/ this. Thanks a lot!!!
I'm in the same bost. My topic is simply "The abuse of prescription Drugs." any ideas on how somone will talk to us??
Get to kno the ppl & understand where they are comin from. Read some of the posts & trust me, you will never want to leave this place. These ppl here are soo sweet, caring, & helpful. Be kind & understanding of certain ppls positions. I don't blame them for getting frustrated at me when I first came, I was a little insinsitive w/ my questions & think that they now understand that I was doing what I was doing not just for a grade, but also to try to help others I kno. Love peace & Kicken Greese! lol
