But the point is that something I learned in AA from listening to so many other addicts is that a drug doesn't create an addiction. Yes, some create a *physical* addiction, where quitting is dangerous or deadly even when used as directed (for instance, benzos), but for an addict the drug is dropped into the already primed catalyst of our psyche. We *all* had issues before picking up, and drugs just created a cell where we could hide.
