why are there people who crave for vices when they fall into problems?

chiumee @chiumee (850) • Philippines 30 Sep 10

such a pity if you crave for alcohol, cigarettes and even gambling when you have problems. why are there people who do this everytime or at least once when they come to a big trouble with anyone. specially when they have troubles...

bingskee well, i cant say anything but it is a sign of weakness, an escape from it all. when i am faced with a crisis in life, all i want to do is pray and ask from God the strength i will be needing to deal with life's hurdles.

candycane15161 It really depends if I know the song or if I am doing sumthing. Sometimes I will be doing stuff when I listen to music so I am not going to start singing the song while I am trying to concentrate on that. Other than that, most of the times I do.
