Jon, that was interesting, but, what is your point? My ex wife the therapist who studied under Jung insists that there is no such thing as an "addictive personality." Now, from personal experience, I know many who have and others who still are destroying their lives (and their families) with alcohol. It seems to me that I have observed in many of these people a sense of hopelessness and despair. That's what starts them down that road, then the addiction keeps them on that road. Right now, I have a fifth of whiskey and a bottle of Champagne in my fridge, and I know that if I decide to give in to the terror of losing my voice permanently, I could kill both of them! What's more, I would probably go buy a carton of non filter cigaretts too! I've never been addicted to booze, but, I'm a quick learner.
