My parent is an addict. Will I be one too?

Thoughts like this are completely normal! It shows a mature level of mindfulness towards something that you might actually feel pulled to do (drink, do drugs, gamble, etc.). This does not mean you will be an addict by default, though. The best thing you can do is regularly take stock in how you're thinking and feeling, and make choices that are aligned with your intentions.

Not necessarily. Many people say that you turn out to be just like your parents, but that isn't always true at all. My best friend's mom grew up in a very abusive home and now she is one of the best mom's I know. She is like my second mother. She didn't grow up to be like her abusive parents. You don't have to follow in the footsteps of your parents. You might be wired to have a more addicting personality (someone who can easily become addicted to anything) but you just have to learn to control it.

Of course not! We are different people from our parents. You shoud take care of yourself and do things that will help you be a become a better person until you will not worry for becoming an addict.

As a child of an alcoholic father, I am not addicted to anything except helping others. Mind of manner, you have the power to stop the ripple effect of bonding in your family. Addiction is a rough word. Humans, we love to bond to anything that is near, but if we understand how much bonding to "bad" things is, we soon choose. To do, or not to do, and it is up to you. Do you want your children to bond to the good of this world or the difficulties like addiction?

My Dad Was heroin Addict, and im looking to join the police, the choice is yours friend, no one is bound by fate

Addiction is not genetic, it is to do with life circumstances and how well you've learnt to cope with emotional pain. Life can be hard for the children of addicts but unless you learn the behaviour from them, there's no reason you should end up one too.

Just because your parent is an addict doesn't mean you will be one. You make your choices and have the ability to choose a different outcome for yourself.

Absolutely not! You are your own person. You make your own choices in life. I think the very fact that this is something you are worried about happening, shows that you are very strong & thoughtful. Take the path that you feel is right for you & have faith in yourself.

I know a lot of people who are not addicts even though both their parents are. I think that sometimes seeing first hand what being an addict is like is enough to make you never want to be like that.

depends on your mindset. you become who you believe you are. so focus on your dreams. you can be and do anything you put your mind to, so choose wisely ;)
