Which came first?
This is a serious question, one that I've been contemplating for a very long time.
I hear stories of my AH when he was growing up, and even at a very young age the stories about him all (as far as I'm concerned) show how selfish he really is. In fact most of his family are self-centered.
So my question is; do addicts become selfish or, do selfish people become addicts?
It seems to me at least in my AH case no matter what kind of trouble he got into growing up no punishment could make him change his behavior. In fact punishment made it worse. So if he got busted at school with alcohol or pot and his parents were "disappointed" he really didn't give a rats @**.
Just makes me wonder...
Opinions?
