[QUOTE="Sister's Keeper, post: 686186, member: 20051"] I think you don't know. There is, certainly, a genetic component, so, maybe, if you had a family history of addiction, it would be wise to maybe just never try anything. ...but there are other issues, too. I know that people with mental illness are at a higher risk, I know certain personality types at are higher risk. People who have suffered abuse or neglect are at higher risk. DWP is right, though, there are so many other things that can be addictive other than pills. Watch some episodes of "My 600 lb Life." The similarities are amazing. The continued eating to spite the obvious toll it has taken on their life. The family enabling. Often thee is some trauma in childhood. The same with "Hoarders." (my lord, I need to get a life) Shoot, I love my diet soda, and my husband smokes. I guess the problem comes when it starts to affect your ability function. [/QUOTE]
