Once an addict always an addict...

 I actually am starting to think it is the truth. Even if you stop being addictive to one thing, it often morphs into something else. My husband likes to call me an extremist. Not sure if he thinks that it is easier for me to hear and accept but in reality, I know I am an addict. Although my drug of choice has never been drugs like cocaine, codeine, etc, it makes no difference what so ever. I'm not too sure that any addiction is healthy! My addictions range from over-eating, not eating, working out too much, and shopping. If I am completely honest with myself, I can take something like reading or knitting and become obsessed with it. Instead of knitting one blanket over months of time, I will knit 10 in 2 weeks. From what I was told, my grandfather had a bit of an addictive personality. Some research says that it is genetic but I suppose like everything in life...there could be a disposition for it but not necessarily an excuse for why I am the way that I am.
