Our local newspaper has been running a series on addiction and today's article was about trading one addiction for another. It's a very good article and if anyone would like to read it you can google this: Addicts in recovery may be at risk for another addiction.
I know Kathy and I have had discussions before about why a drug addict cannot drink alcohol and vice versa. This article explains that very well. For me it just points again more clearly how difficult it is to recover from addiction and why it is a lifelong battle.
Just an asside, Sunday's article showcased several people from our area, faces of addiction, and told their stories. One was my difficult child's addiction counselor when she was in rehab. The point was they look like normal people, not what some may think adicts would look like.
