psychotherapy and psychopharmacology are areas in which i have
considerable knowledge and both would say that addiction is not an
absolute but a line which is drawn between the points of so-called
normality and 'addiction' in its deepest sense.
the more accurate term for example thesedays for alcohol addiction is 'a
drinking problem'... that is how therapists refer to it, as it is very
much a sliding scale, afaik it is only AA who believe that addiction is
a lifelong illness.
addiction probably has a lot to do with electronic music. for example i
am probably addicted to music or at least to the act of composition. it
creates for me a buzz higher than heroin or any other narcotic, i am
floating when i have composed or when i have heard a piece of mine
played. i first discovered this high when i was six years old and have
been craving it ever since, to not be on that high results in an awesome
depression... if that's not a good description of addiction i dont know
what is.
