You're obviously linking drug addiction with choices of lifestyle... once the body is firmly and naturally addicted to any drug it hasn't got a choice. It has to have that drug come what may. Hence the 'hardness' required to kick-it.

Nicotine is hardest to do as it is 'a legal narcotic' followed closely by alcohol. These two drugs when they are socially combined and 'acceptable' wreak havoc with the human body... just look around you.

And the mind... yes the mind remembers the drug especially if the drug gives 'pleasure or relief' to the user.

When you're talkin about 'being hard' then I choose to look at 'high quality' Rugby League players who's total professional control of his game is tough and uncompromising but fair. Getting up after a big hit and carrying on regardless as it is his job, to do so. But lets face it - and this is not a criticism - they only play competitively 'hard' for less than 80 minutes a week.
