[quote=Anonymous]Yes, but only if the recovering addict is careful not to let their addictive personality cling to a new vice. That's why therapy is so important. For example, a friend got gastric bypass surgery without really dealing with her underlying food addiction issue. She did the required therapy to get the surgery, but didn't do any of the therapeutical work or any therapy after the surgery. She transferred her food addiction to alcohol and became an alcoholic. I haven't seen her in a few years, but I've heard from other friends she's still drinking very heavily. A relative got sober from both weed and alcohol and transferred his addiction to exercise. He does all kinds of marathons, iron mans, and ultramarathons. I'm worried about what will happen as he ages and he's not able to maintain this addiction. He doesn't see it as an addiction, tho, just like he didn't see his dependence on weed and alcohol as addictions. [/quote]
