[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 633642, member: 15801"] I found the article interesting....it wasn't clear how they defined addiction and they mentioned alcohol dependent so that was a bit unclear to me. I can imagine there are people who are heavy drinkers that may cut down their intake. And I would also guess here are heroin addicts that manage to quit heroin and replace it with alcohol. It also mentioned that people dont do it "alone" but need structure, tools etc. although not necessarily rehab or AA. And it takes work and committment, so it doesn't seem to be it is just growing or maturing out of the addiction....my guess is the older people get the sicker they get of the downsides of addiction and so are more likely to make the decision to do the hard work of quitting. I don't believe there is necessarily one answer fit all... Sent using ConductDisorders mobile app [/QUOTE]
