Good Morning.
I've been told that I have an addictive personality (it's true, it's true). It's not only confined to alcoholism or drug abuse (in my younger days) , but I also obsess over things like eating. I'll go thru periods of a month or two where I eat peanut butter by the jar, or orange sherbet by the 1/2 gallon. It's always something. My current thing is my involvement with my son's little league. I umpire, scorekeep, coach the team, do field maintance, I'm building a website for the team and am working on getting new jerseys (very cool looking!) for the team for the playoffs. I just can't seem to do things in moderation, it's all or nothing.I seem to build a tolerance to meds very quickly. Could this be due to an addictive personality? Might there be a correlation there? I know it has to be partially due to my chemical makeup. But I'm always obsessing over something. I'd like to hear any thoughts from anyone who goes thru this or if you just have an opinion on the subject.
Tx,
Greg
