I think it is about how we handle anxiety. But for the grace of God, I would be addicted too. I took a good 10 year run at it but I'm only an amateur. I go to meetings etc because of my arrogance and ego and fear and lonliness.

We have people who are cross-addicted, and a few with over-eating problems. Our format is based on AA conference approved literature, but everyone seems to get something out of the meeting.

...YAY for findng compassion, isnt it kinda nice? :)<br />I agree with you about alcoholism and addiction, which is cool, but it would be cool even if we didnt!
