At what point does someone cross the line between casual, recreational drug use and being addicted? The answer isn’t as difficult to determine as some people might think. Addiction is generally defined by the obsession for the particular drug of choice. What that means is if someone can take the drug or leave it alone, chances are you are not addicted to it. If a person can go for long periods of time, let’s say months rather than weeks, and not think or crave using it, you are probably not addicted. Addiction is a form of domination and priority. When using any drug becomes a priority and it predominates and permeates the core and fabric of the person’s activities, you have crossed the line and should seek help.
