So, What Made Me an Addict?

When your world has collapsed take whatever lifeline you feel you can make the most of.

The only thing we have to defend is our sobriety - not how we got there, just that we can stay there.

Whatever it takes.
 
But you don't need religion to beat addiction, just something else to occupy your mind. A hobby, relationship, new job, new lifestyle. Many of these things, religion included, alter brain chemistry in ways similar to the drugs we so often become addicted to. Ultimately though with an empty 'parking spot', or empty life, will make way for addiction.

bingo. nail on the head.
 
^^I believe productive distractions are key. Having a good job and some exercise-related activities are key for me to stay clean.
