i think so. Not necessarily drug or alcohol addictions, but an addiction to something or other. I myself am addicted to smoking and eating. Some people may not see these as addictions but I think that my eating addiction is definitely caused by my abuse. i find comfort in food when i feel bad the way others would take a drink or a drug. It is both my friend and my enemy.
I think so to. I smoke, and when I feel bad I smoke more, I try not to but i think it's like an escape. I do alot of shopping to, and don't really have the money to back it up.
I agree with Fee to it is a freind but also an enemy...fine line
Yes, when young addicted to speed, then self harm, smoked a lot, food, starvation and purgatives.
The only addiction that have not been able to beat is food! Gave up drugs first followed by the purgatives, then the cigarettes. cannot say that I have given up self harm as eating to excess can probably be seen as a form of self harm, as can the alternative of fasting to excess - two sides of the same coin!
