I think it depends on the person and their individual circumstances/genetics/physiology. I was a severe alcoholic and never had a desire to use other drugs (some weed, but nothing beyond that). Other people might hate drinking and gravitate to opioids. It depends on so many factors—rarely, if ever, just one.
I'm distressed, distraught, and I want to be what I need right now, a steady, pillar of faith and strength. Does the "literature" direct us to a solution for this post election moment, when "reasonable" citizens have fallen off the face of the Earth? And, for the "cherry" on top, I have the flu, ha ha.
Ha ha, on me. How easily I forget to "accept" the help I asked for. Thank you, Katie for being here, today ♥

As always, you make me think. Is any addiction a gateway to another addiction?
