Many addicts will replace one addiction with another. As Jesus related in the parable of driving out the demons, where seven more take their place -- aka, if you don't fill the hole in your life that the addiction occupied, you'll merely fill it with something else, usually just as bad.
I had an uncle who was an alcoholic. He replaced his addiction to alcohol with fundamentalist baptist servility. He was college educated.
Due to his "new" addiction, he and his wife home school their daughters. Who never attended college or went onto any other endeavor worth mentioning past "marry early and breed".
