Does exposure to addictive behavior make immune to effects?

In general I would say that a child's early social environment has a powerful potential of fostering addiction, and in particular, a particular type of addiction. However, I'm not 100% sure if it's an exact portal. For example, just because your father worked at the track doesn't mean you're going to have a horse racing addiction. In fact, you might look at horse racing more normally than someone who comes off the street and just pays a few bucks to get into the track. It's not quite that simple, it's more about the exposure; did Dad, Mum, Uncle, or Aunt show you in some way that this thing was ok to get overly involved with, or on the other side did your models show that moderation on these things was the right thing. I even support the idea that societies and cultures that support moderation for example, in alcohol, probably have less alcoholism than societies that support abstinence or excess. It's a social-psychological force that influences the individual. For more information visit http://www.aaalternatives.com
