addikt by name.. addikt by nature.
Throughout my life I've been addicted to one thing or another, but thinking about it from a different perspective I've actually always been addicted to insobriety in some form. Whether it be smoking dope, drinking myself stupid or taking allsorts of mind bending chemicals to get completely out of my face. The worst point was when I'd just got a £2000 credit card, drew the lot out and bought about 3 ounces of cocaine, which lasted me just under a week, and I'm _still_ paying the fucking thing off now after 3 years. I'm clean now though, with the aid of cognitive behavioural therapy. I just drink and smoke like there's no tomorrow. Fuck it.

3 ounces?
Jesus, did you get any sleep that week? I'm surprised your kidneys didn't pack up, not to mention your heart.

I knew someone who did worse than that!
He was a smackhead here in our little town, then moved to London, cleaned up, got a job, met a nice girl, settled down, set a wedding date... and then her gran died.

Gran left her beloved granddaughter £30,000 - this was some years ago, when you could buy a house in the provinces for that much - and it went into the joint bank account.

Witihn a fortnight it was all gone, spent on a frenzy of drugtaking with some newly-discovered druggie 'friends'.

He was soon back home, hopelessly addicted again.
He told me 'I just couldn't resist it - all that money, doing nothing...'
