Is it my fault for being an addict?

There's all types of reasons fall into addiction so it's not always your fault you become an addict as there's so many different types of addiction

as on everything on life, it is always a personal choice, but there is always reasons to do something, mostly started because of trying to call parents attention after them not acknowledging all the good stuff we do, as well just criticize things we do, this falls to be a lack of comprehension making us try to hurt them in a way ending up hurting ourself by abusing of substances that affect our mind, trying to escape reality because of not accepting the judgments of others when actually we are the only ones who really judge ourselves

Definitely not, not at all. No one becomes addicted because they want to its always you trying to change your brain chemistry so you can get through the days. Addiction is often seen as a form of self-medication allowing you to deal with whatever is going on in your life. That is not to say that this is a good way of dealing with things, its often super destructive and can do a lot of harm. I think the best way to think about it is that you are in pain and that you are trying to find a cure for that pain and addictive substances do that. Stopping with addiction can be very difficult but there are great programs and people who can help you not only stop the addiction but also deal with what made you reach out to that addiction in the first place. You are not alone

definately not! various situtaions and experiences led to you being where you are today its what you do from here on in thats makes you

Yes and no :) If you realise you have a problem( what ever kind) and avoid to solve than it is.,BUT if you are asking , googling and thinking about it than you are on the right track and it is NOT. Things happen intentionally or spontaneously please don't beat you self over the past, i was there and it serves you no good. All you have is present , if you think everything is fine than great. But when you realise you have any problem or any situation is not serving you than its up to you to figure it out and beat it . Does it really matter ? fix the problem or enjoy it . Much love & good luck :)

no addiction is a disease that is curable. if you cure yourself and relapse then you must find better coping skills for your stress to become a stronger individual.

Of course it's not. Being an addict is the result of experiences and genetics, much like every psychological condition. The reasons that one can fall prey to drugs are endless and range from family problems and experiences to social acceptance and role. The drug user needs to feel accepted and supported in order to overcome his problem and after alot of effort, be back at his feet.

No, it is never your fault for being an addict, majority of the time addicts were pressured into doing drugs or simply taking alcohol.

It could be fault of much reasons, most common one i guess is having problems with your family, you could say that peobably on one put a gun in our head a say start being a addict but people use it to try and forget problems, a bad idea in my opinion, is better to try and keep going without using any kind of drugs, but not everyone thinks the same

No. it's not your fault for being an addict, you are never to blame for your actions to feel good by a substance or any bad behavior to addiction. makes you feel good, and feeling good isn't a bad thing, you're not responsible for having a good feeling while using these substances. If you like the taste and "Buzz" that's alright, if the feeling becomes to powerful where it's occurring in you life, and you can't control that and you desire to drink is okay. Its not your fault your'e an addict, but you are responsible for any illegal behavior under the sides of alcohol.
