I wonder what causes addiction ? no one seems to know, genes, poor self discipline, is it a disease.

I like most thinks, food, wine, gambling, sex but could never see my self or expect to get addicted to anything.

I see Kenny Sansom signed himself into rehab again. A terrible affliction for those and their families who suffer from its curse

I think the potential to be addicted to something is within some people.  Given the right / wrong circumstances something is triggered in the brain that creates the addiction.

Weakness plain and simple then dependence, they like to say it's an illness but it's not. You don't choose to get colon cancer, you can choose whether you drink, smoke, imbibe drugs, gamble etc.

It's like these rich folks when they get caught, crying and booking into rehab, blaming it on the addiction. They're only sad that they got caught, when they were partying hard they didn't give a fook.
