Was good ole Richard talking about food addiction? Researchers are learning more and more about food addiction. I think you showed Jen dealing with negative feelings in a very college way, by trying to drink them away, so well done, you!

I guess I toyed a little bit w/ alcohol, not addiction but abuse, in Three Daves---at a time when Jen was feeling negative emotion and escaped there. Hope I did it right!<br /><br />Thank you, psycho auther!

My cure for this is to turn off my computer and if I'm smart, leave the house.<br /><br />It's a very human thing to be addicted to something. Your chart is a great way of looking at the stages.
