Aeran Posted December 15, 2016 There are people very happy with being drug or alcohol addicts. I'd disagree with that.They might be "happy" in the immediate sense while intoxicated with their drug of choice, but the nature of addiction is such that it tends to manifest in response to dissatisfaction and discomfort with one's life circumstances, past experiences and present environment - it is, almost always, an attempt to self medicate some combination of those factors.And addressing these factors tends to be a major facet in successful recovery from addiction. I would argue that by definition, someone to whom the label "happy" could truly be applied would not be inclined towards addiction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
