One thing to possibly take into account here people.....A lot of people out there are now not only dealing with the stress of their diseases/addictions but now they could be also dealing with the economic problems affecting our world. I am fortunate enough to not feel the impact yet but I have friends and family who are feeling it....it adds a HUGE amount of additional stress to their lives. That could be what is happening here. Personal issues aside from the addictions are playing a key role in peoples responses and actions.....just food for thought all.
