Addiction

Have you ever been addicted? If so, what were you addicted to?

I myself have struggled with a reliance on alcohol since I was very young. I still drink heavily on occasion but mostly in social situations. I now tend to avoid drinking alone or having drinks every day. I'm not like most people who've struggled with this in that I can still be around alcohol and drink and be okay. This is likely due to the age limit in my country for purchasing alcoholic beverages is 21, and I am only 18. So unless I'm rooming with someone or living with my parents who are moderate drinkers, I'm not around it as much as others.
