Congratulations and best wishes, on your recovery. I grew up with alcoholic parents, and have three siblings who have had various substance abuse problems. The thing I was most addicted to in the past was surfing :) Seriously, I would spend every waking hour thinking about it, looking at weather forecasts, and surfing when I could. I think seeing the effects of substance addiction is probably why I never got trapped by it, but it could just be biological; I never got such a thrill out of drunkenness or being stoned, with pot the "hardest" drug I ever tried :)
