Question by Jared W: Marijuana “addiction”?
Now, I agree that marijuana has the potential to be addictive psychologically, not chemically. My evidence to support this is, people (in my experience) only show signs of being “addicted” to it when they can’t have it, not when they don’t have it. Example, my friend “Jim” (im using this name because I’m unaware if anybody who knows him uses yahoo answers) made a promise to himself to not smoke for 3 months, and only days later he was wanting marijuana, but would quickly forget about it, and that is about as bad as it got, at that time he had been, and still is, a long-time marijuana user. To show why I believe this is psychological, I have seen him go for weeks without smoking, without feeling the want or need for it, he was able to smoke at any time during those weeks, he just didn’t choose to, and the whole time he hadn’t been affected even the slightest from it. I personally have gone months without it (I am currently off it right now), and I have felt no need to smoke, but I also haven’t been a smoker as long as him. I wanna know everyones thoughts on marijuana “addiction”, please only serious responses, Do you think its addictive? if so how? if not why? (Again I dont believe its “addictive” any more than the person in question allows it to be)    Read more...

Question by PortWine: Alternatives to 12-step programs?
I believe I suffer from too much stress and not a good enough management system for the stress I have, and that alcohol abuse is one of many symptoms.
I’ve been binge drinking (5-6 drinks) about every 10 days for the last 3 months, where I drink more and faster than is within my values. I’ve tried to cut back, but only been partially successful.
I’ve had friends who were in 12-step programs and “treatment,” and they describe recovery addicts, emphatically stated B.S., and cult-like behavior on the parts of both the recievers and givers of support. They even describe some of this crap happening with therapists specializing in addiction.
Although I love Dr. Drew from Loveline, I’m sure I would reject much of the methods he would use with me.
Any thoughts?
