Answer by Cori
An example: I have an addictive personality and I’m addicted to alcohol. I’m in recovery for it. In the past I’ve been addicted to meth, pot, x, and lots of other things. I won’t try heroin because I know that I have and addictive personality and would get hooked on it. That’s also the reason I avoid pain meds or anything else I know could trigger my addictive personality. I’m clean from alcohol, so I’m not addicted right now, but if I drink again, I know my addictive personality will trigger an addiction.
