| Be careful, a lot of people get addicted to those meetings or support groups.
Of course, support-group addiction is not unlawful so you cannot get into a lot of trouble, but both dependances would be phycholical, as far as I unstand it smoking pot is not physically addictive.
But why do they serve coffee which as a known addiciton? Once you get that habit you cannot give it up with ease without suffering headaches. I knew a few cops who were addicted to doughnut houses, coffee and doughnuts, you might end up like those cops who busted you.
But if you must attend then here is something interesting.
Many addictions result from "talking with friends" about our personal life. And whatever is used during those talks becomes the medium. The substance becomes the "bonding" factor subconsiously. And when the friendly person is not around we still bond with then by the use of that substance, and thus create a phycholical addiction.
Passing around a cigarette or a joint with the "old gang" makes us feel we are part of that in-crowd, even if it is only one other person. Called the "freak flag". We continue the habit out of a sense of loyality. Be true your school by playing the same songs that we shared with them back then, and the same other "stuff". Bonding via those things like the pot or the beer.
Drinking beer is about hanging out and bonding and talking, or we can about things over a cup of coffee, or if the whole family gets together to talk about the day over dinner, we become addicted to eating food, and get fat.
Thus, the cigaretter (or whatever) becomes like a old friend, and it is hard to leave an old friend.
Very few people know about this, least of them being the phychologists who likewise depend upon people getting addicted to their treatments.
So next time you break bread together or lift that glass or romantic wine - remember - if it feels good it can become addictive.
However I doubt if anyone will become or remain addictive free, something will hook you. So it might be wise to think ahead and pick what addiction has the least amout of bad side effects for our life.
