I hear it's still the gold standard for treating intractable depression. Wouldn't a man to man talk with a doorknob do the same thing?
*shakes head* I have addicts in the family, dearling. It does not matter how one uses the object of addiction...the hallmark is that they can't do without it and lose all control of their lives in the face of it. If you're addicted to peanut butter, you're going to eat it on corn on the cob and cinder blocks...but you'll never do without it, or else.
You can abuse and not be addicted. The twinkies who do cough syrup with their pals? Abuse. The person who doesn't do anything without having a drink first? Addict.
Some abuses indicate addictive behavior - but one is NOT the same as the other.

Make sense?
