Is addiction to chocolate, or coffee a predictor of substance abuse potential ?

People: Who have real addictive personalities are certainly at risk for developing a substance abuse problem if they begin using. If they have to take a controlled substance for medical reasons they should only do so under the close supervision of a physician.

No: This situation would only suggest you have a caffeine addiction. There is no correlation with substance abuse, such as narcotics.
