I was addicted to smoking and drinking during my college years. The moderate drinking continued for 20 years while smoking was ceased cold turkey after I graduated. I neither drink nor smoke. I don't touch caffeine, either. But a few times a year, soda with caffeine keeps me alert when I have to drive on the long stretch of a highway for 10 hours a day for a few consecutive days. The only vice is chocolate.
My neighbor asked me to help locate an alcohol treatment center where her husband is receiving a treatment. Unfortunately, I couldn't find it despite calling a couple of these places that I thought would match the location she initially gave me.
I know a thing or two about addiction, especially to cigarettes and alcohol. Lucky for me that I was able to quit both without much trouble.
Sadly, a current addiction is a struggle. Going through withdrawal symptoms alone relies so much on inner strength and determination.
