Alcoholism and drug addiction are chronic and, in many cases, are brain diseases. That means they can occur throughout one's life, no matter how long a person has been abstinent. Many people think that overcoming addiction to alcohol or drugs is simply a matter of willpower. This, in fact, is not true.

There are treatment specialist who can help you or your loved one to overcome addiction. Don't hesitate to seek help from a professionalist.

There is always a way to quit an addiction. For the more severe drugs, rehab sometimes works. If it is a more serious drug and you find a way to get off it by yourself than you are one in a million. Lesser drugs you should be able to get off of yourself with slight help.

Changes in your brain can make quitting difficult, but it is important to remember that addictions are treatable. With the right plan and resources, recovery is possible. The good news is that you can quit, although it's a complicated process.

Is it possible for someone to be addicted to a drug if they had never been within 5 feet of it?

No. There are arguments that a person can be genetically more likely to become addicted to substances. In order for addiction to occur the substance must be used, this creates either a mental (psychological) addiction to the substance and/or a physical (physiological) addiction. Physiologcial addiction requires the person to use the substance or they will experience withdrawl effects such as shaking, sweating, headaches etc. Psychological addiction invloves the person mentally thinking they must have the substance (ie. if i dont take the drug i wont be able to sleep) Hope this Helps!
