yeah, but psychological addiction is partly defined by failed attempts to stop abusive use of substances... so getting more than one DUI (assuming she didn't want a 2nd one) is a good indicator of psychological dependence and/or addiction.

honestly, it can be even harder to break psychological additions to substances than physiological addictions. for alcohol, drugs like antabuse and naltrexone are largely ineffective BECAUSE they don't address the psychological components of addiction.

i wish her luck, but this article is making it sound like oh, she didn't go through classic withdrawal, and she doesn't have an Axis 1 disorder, so she's A-OK! In truth, personality disorders are very difficult treat and can be a real strain on a person's relationships and work. Substance abuse issues and a personality disorder are not a "she's fine" diagnosis.
