After support from friends and family did not work their lives continued to spiral down, until it landed them in jail. While one friend has recovered after a jail stint, the other is still using. I believe the only cure for addiction is one's will to really just say 'no'. I have lost a couple of friends due to hard drug addictions.

I was asking because you said your roommate was an alcoholic and you met him in rehab. It seems like you are the enabler in relationships. I feel that you are spending money on others to fit in or get people to like you. You know that money can buy love. I think you need to concentrate on yourself. Andre Dotseth,

I met him there. By doing nothing I perpetuate a problem. Addiction to other peoples intensity. I don't have the ego strength or something. I just keep going to my meetings and enabling and I can't afford it. Spending money trying to impress people I don't even like.... I can't identify with the fear or sabatoge. Its kind of like a love addiction. There is a payoff to an addiction no matter how self defeating. Trying to fit in... Acceptance and approval I'm not getting from my group. If I get a job it will be a good thing... the no control element... poor me... kick me. Comfort zone. I just keep doing it. These definitions were helpful.

My desire for productive, satisfaction of some sort or for that matter, anything postive. I then know it is addiction as I repeat the thoughts or actions after my own failure to see anything I believe to be good. Even if what is created could be construed as good. Maybe more simply put, just never enough. Hi Isabella,

For me addiction always appears as tradeoff.

My desire for productive, satisfaction of some sort or for that matter, anything postive. I then know it is addiction as I repeat the thoughts or actions after my own failure to see anything I believe to be good. Even if what is created could be construed as good.

Maybe more simply put, just never enough.
