Very interesting question, and one that I have no real answer for. For as long as I can rem,ember I have had what my doc calls an addictive personality or something like that. When I start something I go overboard with it, I can't seem to ever exercise conrol or restraint. I will keep hearing the little fiend in the back of my mind constantly trying to entice me into doing the next load of whatever. If I don't start the cycle then I can ignore the fiend, but if I even take a hit off a bong or bottle I am done for, the fiend ALWAYS wins no matter how strong I try to be. I was depressed once and did Meth, it took over 4 months to fight my way out of the cycle. Therefore, for myself at leat abstaining is a must. Funny that my best friend doesn't need to abstain, she says for her the fiend has little if any power. The only drugs she refuses to abstain from is her Lamictil.
