Addiction is an issue in most people's lives today.  We are told by  Medical Experts that being an addict is not a disease, tell that to the person who had a terrible childhood, or the person who was a rape victim, or the one who has been a victim of physical abuse but though that may seem true in some circumstances, it is really a spirit that has manifested through generational and present SIN that has not been yet addressed and has caused turmoil, grief and pain to allow a person to be dependent on their addiction.  addiction is and should not be limited to just drugs and alcohol, anything that is of excess is an addiction; it's just that drugs, alcohol, gambling and sex are just accepted and normal Addictive Behaviours in today's World.
