I fell I should cut down on taking the elevator to my fifth floor office, and I’ve felt guilty for not taking the stairs. Does that mean I’m addicted to taking elevators?

Asking a director of alchohol studies if you’re addicted is like asking the barber if you need a haircut.

swag, relax man. Does what you say happen? Sure. But let’s get real, people like that didn’t care about there daughters/sons to begin with. They’ve lived a self-indulgent life since they were conceived and have lost there soul. People like the one you described are aberrations of normal society. Besides that, I laugh in the face of the premise that people DON’T choose to begin there addiction at some point, whether it’s coffee, drugs, alcohol, you name it. WE ALL CHOOSE. That was kind of the point of the article.

Btw, don’t get me wrong. There is a physiological factor that begins to take hold after we’ve gotten ourselves hooked on whatever it is that we’re hooked on.

Peace

Don’t insult the people who face real addictions — not these petty, white collar consumer fads. The day we find someone who sold their daughter into sex slavery to fund their coffee habit after losing their job over it will be the day I do not laugh in the face of anyone who says “they’re addicted to coffee”.
