When it comes to addictions there is one certainty and that is.... it doesn't discriminate! It affects people regardless of their race, orientation, financial status, etc. Addiction, although seemingly more prevalent in certain circumstances, can affect anyone given the correct variables are present.
The reality is that addiction will take on, and take down anyone that it can. It doesn't care what your bank account boasts, what brand of clothes you wear, what type of home you live in and so on.
