I suppose it would be difficult to go without something if it is an addiction of sorts. Lucky that I don't seem to have any particularly identifiable ones at the moment, but I do wonder if people don't imagine what they might be like in complete sobriety. Though I do know some people are happier without, and if that is the case then maybe it doesn't very much matter--as long as they are doing what they really want to do, I mean.
And not all addictions are to smoke or alcohol anyway. I wouldn't like to be without my dreams, though to call them an addiction by most definitions wouldn't really be fair, I think. There was only the one after all, and in the end it was a memory---is a memory.
Growing up without it, I can't quite fathom.
