So far, I don't have kids but I've some kind of Alcohal addiction. Hopefully I leave it in time so that I don't be ashamed in front of my kids. I also smoke but only after drinking so that's not an addiction for me. If I can leave alcohal, I'll also leave smoking. Even alcohal has a lot of health benifits, that doesn't make it acceptable for regular use. I also believe that every drug can be medicine if you take them in limited quantities.
