A member asked:
Can pill addiction run in the family?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nature vs. Nurture: Yes, what we see modeled by others impacts our behavior. How much comes from genetic predisposition and how much is learned behavior is debatable. Recent research indicates that genes are not our destiny. Please don't use the fact that others drink in the family as an excuse for your own choices. Peace and good health.
