Just stop drinking! Just don't do any more drugs. It's will power. Having seen such addiction up close, I can tell you for sure that it's a disease. Where do we draw the line, I don't know.

Sex addiction, we're told he had. Really? So, if you're a guy who has top-tier 'tang throwing itself at you every second, and you're enough of an asshole to turn your back on your wife to indulge in that, you can say you have an addiction? Bullshit! See the South Park episode.
