THIS, dude. The relatives I've seen struggle with it, woke me up to the toll it can take...tackling it head on isn't easy, but it's the surest way of beat it. If you are a part of society that is genetically predisposed (as about 15-20% of the population is)...abstinence is best, and probably only way to beat it for good. Even mere psychological addiction is a bitch to overcome. Good luck, and Godspeed.
