Is Addiction a Sin? I Know Its Not a Good Thing to Be Addicted to Something but It Still Makes Me Wonder.?

Question by Gavin: Is Addiction a sin? I know its not a good thing to be addicted to something But it still makes me wonder.?
I am not saying im the perfect Human or by any means the “best” christian in this world, But I do know I will die someday and I will never really understand a single thing about heaven or Hell till I make it to 1 or the other. Anyways my question is addiction a sin? I know we don’t just do something over and over again without calling it a “addiction” like smoking,drinking,drugs,food,sex,ect. Now Im not saying I wanna be perfect or be saved cus I dont know whats gonna happen to my soul when I perish from this world. I just wanna know cus if we smoke cigarettes but don’t always smoke em or we drink on accations but not always drink is that a sin? I know its not addiction. I believe that a “addiction” is simply something you cant stop thinking about and doing in this world so there for it has to be a sin because its not something we so quote “enjoy” its something we “need” rather then then just enjoy it to the ocations.
So with that being said, Please I do not want to hear another juhov witness, Mormon, Nor Ctholic comment on this question. I don’t believe in there standards. If not paying money to churches to save your loved ones from Hell is a sin then what dos that tell you?

I Am Slowly Getting Off Methadone. Worried About the Withdrawals… Help?

Question by TedDanson: I am slowly getting off Methadone. Worried about the withdrawals… Help?
OK.. I was addicted to the painkiller Oxycontin for a couple years. It is an opiate, (which of course I didn’t know when I started using it) and is basically just as addicting, or maybe even more addicting than Heroin.

I wasn’t a guy who got in accident and was prescribed it or anything. Actually I was a successful drug dealer who had a lot of money to blow on these stupid pain killers which I snorted up my nose. I never wanted to believe I was addicted to this stuff, and actually self detoxed 9 times throughout a 2 year period, always relapsing around the 3 week, 1 month mark, because I couldn’t take the depression and boring-ness of normal drug free life. Eventually I decided to change my life around and stop selling drugs. When I started working a normal job, making normal money there was no way I could financially support my PK addiction. So knowing that self detoxing will only result in re-lapse, I checked into a methadone maintenance program.
