I smoke when I'm really drunk but I've never had the urge to smoke sober. Also some of the "addicting" drugs I've done have never made me crave it.

I've smoked, drank, taken various illicit drugs, and been prescribed OxyContin (for a shoulder surgery I had in college). I have never been addicted to anything. I might drink a couple beers one day a week.

some people have addictive personalities so in my case I direct those addictive tendencies into positive things. My kids, books, cars, tech, golf, all things that I can direct my mind to if I get intelectually bored.



Really people who are addicts have too much time on their hands.

I definitely agree that some people just have more addictive personalities. Now I've never tried heroin or meth, so not sure how I would react to those, but I am pretty sure I am very low on the "addiction" scale.
