No kidding!
It still surprises me that I haven't become addicted to anything. My mom has been drinking since I was a kid, and perhaps my father too. Considering how much more likely I was/am to drink, and considering that I didn't realize they were alcoholics until recently, I'm shocked! And lucky!
I was put on Ritalin (and later Adderall XR) by my mom because she thought I had ADD. (Now, I believe I was misdiagnosed , and my "symptoms" were probably caused by my ****** parents.) Anyway, those are stims, and I'm surprised I didn't get hooked on those!
So it's good to know now, so I don't get hooked later in life.
