re: Alcoholism: Why it sucks.

Has anyone ever met someone who is literally addicted to everything? I have a buddy who goes to excess with every substance he ever touches. He eradicated an addiction to opiates and was a chain smoker for like a year when he was trying to stay off. Then he got on benzos and became a full blown addict. I know he's a sex addict too. He'll do anything to catch a buzz of any kind. He's literally the most talented person I've ever met and if given no other options you could probably get him to huff gasoline. It's tragic. I don't think he could ever defeat that way of thinking without some sort of religious experience.
