Youth and Alcohol

[Duchess]

So, do those that overcome an addiction (to anything, not just drugs/alcohol)...which many, many, many have....are they still weak minded? Or do they magically become "strong minded" after overcoming an addiction?

You really should educate yourself on addiction, and then make an informed statement...not just a preconceived notion based on perception alone.

Why would I want to educate myself on addiction? Knowing any more than I already know won't change my opinion.

Of course they don't magically become strong minded, that's just dumb...even for you. They become sober enough to exhibit some self control, some will power. They are only one drink or one drug away from being right back where they were.
