[QUOTE="mrsammler, post: 540329"] I think the majority of addicts/alcoholics are people who don't feel as socially comfortable as other people seem (to them) to be naturally, so they drink/drug in order to medicate shyness/social anxiety/fear that they are uninteresting or social misfits. Scratch any addict long enough (if he's sober) and he'll eventually admit something like this: they they drink/drug in order to feel socially palatable or sufficiently interesting to merit the attention of others. Many, many addicts/alcoholics complain of feeling "empty" or "hollow" when newly sober. Some of this is due to immaturity and lost time, of course--someone who's been drugging for a decade will feel waaaaaay behind the curve once he's sober again--but some of this clearly a kind of default position in those inclined toward addictions.
