I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who shared their stories in response to my question about how their addictions started. I'm still shaking my head in disbelief at how fast my own addiction "got me".
I feel bad saying that hearing other's stories helps me, because I'd never wish addiction on my worst enemy, but I'm pretty sure you all know what I mean when I say your responses help. It lets me know I'm not alone and it reminds me that none of us went looking for addiction. I'm not trying to avoid personal responsibility for my addiction but somehow I doubt any of us said, "wow, it'd be so cool to be an addict!" Addiction is such a subtle process, at least in my opinion.
Okay, enough of my middle of the night rambling for now. Thanks again for your candid responses and best of luck to all of you.
