[QUOTE="Tiredof33, post: 519851, member: 13558"] I know a person casually and have light conversations with her. I know she has struggled with alcohol and I have heard about pain pills. She is 52 and this has been going on since teens. Her sister owns businesses and does very well, she helps her sister with odd jobs and with the mother's care. Super enabling but that's the norm in this area. Anyway, she was cleaning the gym last week and she told me she was in counseling and had discovered she had an 'addictive personality'. We have a joke in our quilting club about fabric addiction and enabling each other to be 'quilt aholics'. I am also a 'plant aholic' I have to stop myslef from buying more when I already have plenty. I know I was addicted to nicotin, and I have my cup of coffee each morning. So I think we all have tendencies to be addicts just in different areas and more constructive ways. I could certainly live with out my quilts, plants, and morning coffee but I would not be happy! And I think if they were destructive for me I would still have a hard time letting them go. Also with tomatoes, after growing up here and having fresh tomatoes, I moved to Florida for 33 years and only had access to the store ones. Moving back to rural farm land I look forward to picking and eating fresh tomatoes. My daughter has RA and was told to not eat them, if they ever tell me that just shoot me lol!!!! My thoughts are that we all probably have addictive personalities, just are able to control them better. I could easly wipe out my bank account with my hobbies, but I know there would be bad consequences. We have self control and that is what they must learn. [/QUOTE]
