There are many addictions a person can experience in life. Among the extremely large list of potential addictions there are addictions to food, addictions to sex, addictions to working, addictions to playing, porno addictions etc.
While any Addiction is enslaving to the degree that it prevents the individual from achieving their true goals in life and actively participating in other more productive and healthy activities, it is the Drug and Alcohol addictions we will be focusing on in this particular site.
Substance abuse and drug and Alcohol addiction carry with them an enormous amount of ambiguities and misunderstandings, not to mention vast amounts of information needed to even start to address someone with an addiction related problem.
It is true, however, that many of the additional list of possible addictions occur as a side effect or accompany drug or alcohol addictions. It is not uncommon for someone as an example to be addicted to pornography as a side effect of drug use. Nor is it uncommon for an individual to compulsively seek out and use other things in life as an attempted handle for their alcohol addictions.
Still, we will focus on the primary issues of drug and alcohol addiction as this is the more narrowed scope of our basic informational purpose.
