Thank you, yes it is Talking Heads-based.

The thing is, I do have compassion for addictive behaviour. I know that I am probably a dry drunk or something- I just have seen so many family members and friends go down (and some never resurface) that I have not engaged in the behaviour. I do have a wicked sweet tooth (which I understand is common among adult children), though, and that is (to me) further indication of a propensity to addiction (like, I will eat smarties until my tongue hurts and want one more...I know it sounds lame compared to "real" addictions, but it is an addiction and I shudder to think what kind of trouble I would be if I got into the drinking. So I don't.).

I in NO WAY want to make people feel badly about their addictions. I do know it's difficult. I only post in this particular section because of the secularness of it. I hope that that's ok.
