Its all about choice.When you abuse yourself ,the thing your abusing it with starts making the choice and then abuses you.

Answer 2

personally i have had a DXM addiction before. and a romantic addiction too,

okay so a drug or alcohol addiction is where you are constantly jittery and always wanting that certain Something. you are feeling guilty about it too, unless you are high or drunk, and if you don't allready know you have a bad addiction to it, you should figure that out when you feel like you are dying without it. sometimes you can have anxiety problems too.

please don't get addicted to drugs. it is not fun.

a romantic addiction, (i should know (: ) is where you are missing that person, and wanting to see them a lot. you could even be addicted to them if you miss them for an hour after you saw them. you are always thinkin about them and when you see them you get butterflies and want to be with them forever.

this is a good addiction.

good luck!

sorry if my answers are confusing!
