I probably speak for a lot of your friends here, I am very proud of you. I know a few people with addiction issues. Addiction to cigarettes killed my mother. Addiction, especially the socially acceptable ones; drinking, smoking, gambling; are very insidious because society makes it extremely easy to feed the addiction.
Keep it up.
Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts
"God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.
