My take on it is that I think that maybe being HD and not dealing with it very well -- or, more broadly -- not dealing with conflict very well, (which would make up more than a small subset of this SSM community) could be the same type of person who has other "addictive" problems in their life?
Speaking for myself, I could easily have sexual addiction problems if I wasn't careful, and I drink too much on occasion and am the child of an alcoholic. But I'd say that my bigger problems are PROCRASTINATION, CONFLICT-AVOIDANCE and a general lack of conflict-resolution skills (I'm more likely to just say "screw it," and sulk).
I'm anxious to see what the others say!
Choc., who thought about starting this same topic a few months ago, but kept putting it off ...
