I'm pleased you're enjoying it.<br /><br />You are correct that men have more of a problem with substance abuse than women, and women have more of a problem (at least what's reported) with depression, anxiety, and eating disorders.Jennifer Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13300124780126853962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1868326771039467931.post-51059575788457841902012-12-15T09:55:00.047-05:002012-12-15T09:55:00.047-05:00Cherie Reich, thank you for stopping by!

I enjoyed your review. Plot driven novels ...Hi Jen. I enjoyed your review. Plot driven novels are high on my criteria when choosing a book to read. However, if I don't care about the characters, I can put the book down. I'm in the middle of reading Streamline and loving it. The two main characters have got me hooked. It's a challenge for me to read in that it's rather "close to home" and stirs up memories I'd rather forget. However, since I'm hoping for a happy ending, I read on. The only other hinderance is a wee puppy that's defying me in the area of house training. Have to constantly stalking the wee thing.<br /><br />Regarding your question about alcoholism being a biological illness - it appears there is a greater risk of becoming an alcoholic if your ancestors suffered from that illness, though from what I've read, the illness is more likely to affect the male members of the family.<br /><br /><br /><br />F.

I think...I think some people do have a biological tendency toward alcohol/drug addiction, but I don't believe it's strictly biological, i.e. it seems to me people can become addicted even if they're not biologically pre-disposed.
