Habitually escaping reality is escaping reality (addiction), be it pot, alcohol, coke, facebook, shopping, gambling etc. Hell, I could say im addicted to daydreaming. If you are posting about it, I would lay money that it is an issue for you. I had a boyfriend who couldn't for the life of him go a day without pot. Without it he was the biggest jerk around. I have metpeople who smoke it occasionally without an issue, like people who can have some drinks occasionally without an issue (though pot is illegal, I know). Bad habits break us and good habits make us.
