[QUOTE="AHF, post: 479197, member: 11180"] I may need to be clearer about the issue. Peter Pan isn't a drug addict or an alcoholic. His issues are poker and depression, intertwined. Thus at least some of the resistance at the sober house, where he feels like an outlier even though the consequences of his behaviors--social isolation, academic and vocational failure, family estrangement, loss of coping skills, narcissism, regression--are all the same. Debates about what is or isn't addictive are endless but finally fruitless in his case. The question is whether he is going to make something out of his situation or whether others are going to try to craft a situation for him that will make him "happy." I do not endorse the latter.
