  • 1. Expressing offensive reproach. 2. Characterized by physical or psychological maltreatment; "abusive punishment"; "argued...that foster homes are abusive". If those around you feel that you are expressing these behaviors, then yes you are abusive. Someone who is physiologically dependent on a substance; abrupt deprivation of the substance produces withdrawal symptoms. If you feel that you are unable to go a day, a week, a month, a year, or life without these things, then yes you are an addict. Once you stop, you will have withdrawal symptoms, and you will have weed or crack or beer to make those symptoms subside. I hope this helps.
  • Me and a mate, go to the pub after work, relax and talk about the day, have a couple of beers, maybe a game of pool. I didn't think that made us addictive or abusive, i just thought it made us happy.
  • The reason could be different every day, so addiction, to me, is not as important as the abuse the person is giving to his boss and co-workers. He is making life rough on them. At work the others should work to give him the choice- do his work or get out. May seem harsh, but he will do much damage to the people at work if they do not stand up to him.
  • I'd have to ask how long this crack after work has been going on before I could answer that part of the question... I am not experienced with crack and never will be, but I have heard that it is highly addictive and have seen what it can do to people; as for the drinking, well no, I don't think a few beers per day makes someone an addict.
  • The weed/crack,,yeah,most of society would think that there is a problem,drinking,on the other hand,is a lot more socially accepted,and that's where many don't see a problem,because it is accepted. Only the user can say if they are an addict,others saying so doesn't make it so,looking inside yourself for the honest truth is the only way you can decide.
  • Crack? Weed? I believe someone like this is considered to be a "functioning" addict. A "few" drinks, meaning 2 or 3, I don't believe is considered to be abusive.
