I consider addiction a weakness, not simply drinking coffee or alchohol. So how am I like those people, and what characteristics are you seeing? Feel free to PM me if you'd like.
Are you really trying to tell me, being an addict is not a weakness? Would you list it as your strength in a job application? And is it just legal stuff that's ok? What about heroin?
An addict looses controll over his or her actions, or suffers nasty withdrawl, if being a controll freak means I'm not a slave to substance, then controll freak me up.
Perhaps our difference is in our experience. There's something about seeing OD'd heroin addicts, and dead gang members (over drugs/power), when I was a kid that makes me wary of what I consume. Even if it is legal and isn't as bad as some other stuff.
