What everyone has failed to mention so far in this discussion is the difference between THINGS which are addicting by nature, and PEOPLE who have addictive tendencies. People can say what they like about 'anyone can give up anything with willpower' and actually, I agree, but you have to realise that some people find it harder than others, due to their genetic makeup and personal background. Personally, I've given up weed (it took two years) and alcohol (it took a year). I now drink again; I don't do it every day but still, when I do, I feel the need to do it to excess. From my experiences so far, I think it's likely those kind of feelings will be with me for the rest of my life. I hope people can try and empathise a little before jumping in with judgemental opinons.
