Hi there,
What a great question.
I beleive there is a genetic component, but environemnt plays such a huge role. We can see an increase in addictive behavior over time which points to culture, for sure. We live in a society where we feel empty, we seek escape, we seek distraction, we seek pseudo-power, we seek to escape our own personal power and responsibility. We want immediate impulsive feel-good methods. We avoid the true work of genuine fullfillment and personal power. Some people are more readily enticed with the illusion of releif of whatever the addiction offers - and I think it's because they are genetically predisposed to this condition and they have not been taught the tools they need to address the emptiness.

Ah! Or do they.....? hmmmmm?
Im addicted to cigerettes after peer pressure at the age of 9!!
Im now 19 and wish to god I had punched all the bullies and said NO!!!
I hate it, but when I dont have one I get irritated!
some people are just more susceptible to addictions...myself being included. sometimes it boils down to genes and family history. my dad was an alcoholic therefore i must be careful with my alcohol consumption.
but yeah, addictions suck no matter what kind.
Because we are human.
