Addictions come in all shapes and sizes. Growing up around fellow addicts doesn't help the situation. But you have two choices: fight it or let it consume you. Just because you get knocked down during the first round doesn't mean you're destined to lose the fight. Is it a little harder? Yes. Impossible? No. It's depressing to see otherwise wonderful and successful people succumb to addictions they could conceivably overcome.
