Yes I did, and purposely without mentioning the word addiction.
I'm not a smoker, but some have told me that the combination of nicotine and alcohol is similar to the feelings my Dad had about nicotine and caffeine. I have a friend who only smokes when drinking. Tells me that he has no desire to smoke any other time.
I was addicted to caffeine (five mugs (not cups), black coffee, no sugar, by early afternoon). Gave it up cold turkey (coffee, tea, cola) after I had my heart attack. Had the jitters for several weeks afterward.

Can eating high cholesterol foods, high sugar content foods, or high caloric foods be considered an addiction if one is on the road to a heart attack, stroke, or diabetes?
Does the government, or a health insurance company, have the right to limit one's food intake?
Can one be addicted to social media?
Is there a "runner's high"?
Is sex addiction real?
Enough, let's get back to basketball.
I've got a game this afternoon. New (middle) school and new partner for me. Have heard that it's great middle school league. Long drive, but I'm looking forward to it. I will be double masking (had a few partners do this last year, before vaccinations) to prepare for our family's Christmas celebration.
