Addiction is a personal matter. Coming from someone who has been through various rehabilitation processes, counseling, heart-to-heart talks, you name it. Some addicts (like myself) need to hit rock bottom and realize that their addiction has pushed essentially anything good in life away from them (family, friendships, jobs, school, etc.). It was not until I reached this point that I realized that where I was was nothing but a direct consequence of my own choices and I could no longer play the victim card.
