Is it true that addicts never stop being addicts, they just replace their addiction?

example: a drug addict alcoholic who discovers god and turns a teetotaler gay bashing abortion hating new born Christian.

Is replacing addictions the rule or the exception?

Bro, I’ve been a polydrug addict for 16+ years now and regularly teach others about harm reduction.

I’m not gonna say I’m the most knowledgeable person you’re going to find on this subject, But I reckon I’ve got my fair share of knowledge.

So tell me about this empathy I don’t have, for you know, addicts.

Please feel free to type as much as you need and I will read it.
