We have learned a lot about addiction in the last 20 years and it is actually a disease process. You have a substance use disorder your entire life. It is very difficult to overcome. Most people don't get help. It's awesome so many of y'all have been able not only go through recovery but sustain it. As a Physician that treats addictions Alcohol, Opioids, Tobacco, and then Benzodiazepines in that order seem to be the most difficult to treat

Compulsive gambling is right up there from what I've read.

As you are aware, there is an invisible line that’s crossed, and once crossed, there is no going back. I’d imagine it’d be pretty difficult to treat something like this where the default mindset of the addict is to use in spite of consequences and even against the instincts of self-preservation.
