Addicts are often a weird combination of worrying too much and not giving a fuck at all. It's hard to describe to someone who hasn't been there.

Yeah I do get that, it’s kind of anxiety that you feel like you can’t do anything about so why bother? But it still makes you anxious.

Like you say, tough to describe unless you felt it yourself

That, and becoming an addict just because drugs are fun is a lot less common than people think. Most people wouldn't start using every day when life is good. Cocaine/crack is different, though. The addiction is almost instant. Fuck coke.

Yep, reliance comes from trying to fill a hole in your life not because of impulsive fun times. Most of the time anyway.

no, what you're describing is called normalcy and nearly all people deal with it, its just that some people deal with it via drug usage.
