Every human will have their own personal character flaws, but they can be particularly bad for substance abusers because the drive this addictive behaviour.
One of the goals of drug and alcohol rehabs is to help the individual get over these character flaws so that they can build a new and better life in recovery.

What makes an addiction is about how we interact with it and our feelings towards it.
The 6 defining characteristics have been laid out by Daria J. Kuss:
‘mental preoccupation, escapism, mood modifying experiences, neglect of personal life, tolerance, and concealing the addictive behaviour’.
There is no expectation that people in Paisley will need to overcome all their character flaws in other to beat their addiction.
This is not something that any human will be able to achieve. All that is asked is that the individual begins working on those flaws that are most likely to cause them problems in recovery.
