I have to agree with the theory of genetics, but don't exclude what I call "phantom genetics". I knew this guys, mentally he seemed carbon copy of his father. His father was an alcoholic and so was he, they both smoked pot at different times in their lives. It was strange how much a like they were considering he was adopted! Still they stood a like, walked a like and even shared many of the same personality traits. Al tho they were built different, they both had the same posture so they looked a lot a like from a distance.
So I guess what I'm trying to say is, I the addictive personality comes from a little of every thing: genetics, phantom genetics (or how we are raised), personality, self image, and more.

MHO there is no 'ggod' answer to that question it's like asking why one survives lung cancer and another dies from it. I think what's really important is how you fight the fight.
