Hi there lands u sound a bit confused. What ur describing is I believe alcohol cravings where ur constantly thinking about it etc. but not actually getting it unless u have the money and dont need to take ur meds, as u mention u can go weeks without a drink which means ur a binge drinker not an alcoholic ,u dont even come into the category of addictive personality disorder, its quite a difficult one I myself am positive I have it as im addicted to people which is why I stay well clear of them,as in this drug&alcohol world u will find everyone is ur friend as long as u have access to drugs or alcohol, money usually being the main motive. So going back to this addictive thing it can be anything , even harmless stuff like tv, porn , food, gambling, holidays, shopping, gym , and drugs@alcohol theirs more im sure ,ive tried most apart from food and holidays, money is the worst ive had money and also ive not had money, the people who have like 100% addictive personalities also can be called people pleasers they dont like to say no , just to please that person even if they dont want to do it, ivr met a few in rehabs and really it all boils down to being liked by everyone which is impossible in fact its very off putting when u witness someone like this , sorry again im drifting im sure someone on here will have totally different views whe. I mentioned things like food,gambling etc, I was more correct so im somewhat addicted but not really, also I think with age you learn and grow away from some of ur bad habits, I will leave it now .
