Addiction and recovery primer

From Pridesource.com:

"Trying to determine if you are addicted to an activity or substance can be very difficult, and it often takes years. Sometimes, people can overcome an addiction with little effort. For example, it takes time to build up an addiction to most drugs, and there is a time period where a person can walk away without becoming addicted. At some point, however, it's like a switch that's been thrown, and once the addiction takes hold, it requires a lot of support to stop using the substance."
