    While others might seek to exploit addictions, addicts absolutely have personally responsibility for their addictions.

      I’m sure most people agree with you but I disagree.

      If addicts have responsibility for their addictions does that therefore mean you must take credit for not being addicted?

        I guess, but it’s like taking credit for cleaning your room or not hitting anyone on the way in to work. It’s great but only your mother really cares (and even she is probably rolling her eyes if you’re bragging about that beyond a certain age).

          Furthermore, peoples would reject others taking credit for things they didn’t actually earn. If someone wins the lottery that’s not a quality of them, they were just lucky.

          I don’t believe people can take credit for anything because they are not the author of their biological or environment. Likewise, being a gambling addict cannot be their fault.
