(?)... I Will Be Here

alcohol dependence is defined by the simultaneous occurrence of an individual to three of the following seven criteria:

1. Increased tolerance (takes more alcohol)
2. Withdrawal symptoms (tremor, anxiety, sweating, epilepsy prohibiting alcohol)
3. Difficulty in controlling the amount of alcohol consumed
4. Concerns about supply alcohol
5. Persistent desire and unsuccessful, to reduce or stop consumption
6. Negative effects of alcohol on leisure and social life
7. Consumption despite persistent health problems, physical or mental impairment.

And if we extended the reasoning? Because there is not after all that alcohol!
According to WHO [ICD-10 (1992)]

While some symptoms of the disorder persisted at least a month or occurred repeatedly over a prolonged period.
At least three events following are present at one time during the past year:

1. Strong desire or compulsion to use a psychoactive substance;

2. Difficulty in controlling the use of the substance (or early termination of the consumption level of use);

3. Physiological withdrawal symptoms when the person stops or reduces the consumption of a psychoactive substance, as evidenced by the occurrence of a characteristic withdrawal syndrome for the substance or the use of the same substance (or a related substance) to relieve or avoid withdrawal symptoms ;

4. Demonstration of tolerance to the effects of psychoactive substance: the subject needs a larger quantity of the substance to achieve the desired effect;

5. Phasing out other sources of pleasure and interest in favor of the use of psychoactive substance, and increased time to obtain the substance, use or recover its effects;

6. Continued substance use despite the occurrence of untoward consequences.


Well no, I'm not an alcoholic really. These last two months I have convincingly demonstrated Definitely!
hope it lasts ...



Apart from that?

I'm not addicted to sex either ... Disappointing!



And if not?
I'm addicted to anything really!

[If TFW Nutella anyway ... and music junkies. What else?]



What else?
Weekends here or there, regular medical appointments ... but above a sea of work that I do probably never come to the end!
