that the Minmatar military specifically recruits hardened criminals for service in its elite Valklear units, and that many of the Republic's most senior officers were originally recruited in this way?

So the opposite of addiction is not sobriety. It is human connection.

If being isolated from other people caused addiction, I should probably be an addict a few times over by this point. Generally, I only see people at work, and even there I don't have too much time to talk to employees.

Perhaps it's not just human contact, but how much you enjoy your life.

True, that. Perhaps it is.

I hate my life, and I do a lot of drugs.

Makes sense to me.

I am borderline shut-in (only reason why I am not a total shut-in was because I have to leave the house/room to go to work, and even then I keep to myself most times). The only drug I do is computer games.
