I am an older lady who has worked as a ward secretary in an inpatient chemical dependency and psychiatric treatment center and saw a lot of encouraging and discouraging things happen. In my personal life, I have had longterm relationships with alcohol and marijuana addicts, even though I knew better from working at the treatment center.
I was a smoker for 35 years and now have pancreatic cancer which is a direct result. I haven't smoked for 10 years now. I used to pull my hair out until medicine was discovered to help this. It was an obsessive-compulsive problem, but it felt like an addiction. I sometimes did not even realize I was doing this, and you can imagine that it affected my life greatly. Overeating has occasionally been a problem for me, also.
