I know that former addicts are more prone to addiction later in life, atleast psychologically. what I wanna kno is whether heroin addicts are more susceptible to becoming physically addicted to alcohol than a normal person.
i know how heroin makes the brain become addicted, but how does the brain become physically addicted to alcohol? and does alcohol addiction affect the same part of the brain as heroin/opiate addiction? in short, are former opiate addicts more easily addicted to alcohol due to the past damage on their brain from opiates? and finally, HOW easy can one become an alcoholic? (how can social drinkers stay social)
basically I've been clean from dope for a little over a month. I'll typically have a few drinks after work in the evening, but naturally I'm worried about becoming an alcoholic. are there any ways to avoid becoming one? for instance, primarily sticking to beer instead of whiskey???
