Addiction must be tough. For Todd Marinovich, who is my age, he hasn't been able to kick it.
Marinovich had a guitar case, and inside officers found about a gram of powdered methamphetamine, a metal spoon and a hypodermic needle, Sgt. Evan Sailor said.
Marinovich was arrested and pleaded not guilty on Tuesday to felony possession of a controlled substance and misdemeanor counts of unauthorized possession of a hypodermic and resisting a police officer.
A standout quarterback at Southern California in 1991, Marinovich was a first-round draft choice of the then-Raiders, where he played two seasons before being released because of an acknowledged drug problem. In eight games, he had eight touchdowns and nine interceptions.

I drink too much Coca-Cola and eat WAY too many Double Stuf Oreos. Not sure if that qualifies as an addiction, though. Some soft psychologist probably thinks so.
Are you addicted to anything? If so, what and what's that like?
