One thing I just want to point out is that drug/alcohol addiction do not, inherently, always have to do with underlying mental health issues. While there are obviously times where depression, anxiety, etc. are linked with addiction, there are many addicts who have none of these mental health issues. Addiction can potentially affect anybody, no matter his or her background. Some people appear to be more wired for it than others. It is easier to fight, and recognize, when you understand that it really can affect anybody, potentially.
