I'm not sure. The dynamic between my mother and my maternal
grandmother (mother-daughter and me) was screwed up enough that I think
it had some impact. My maternal grandfather used to smoke, but other
than that, no big addictions that I can see. I think the issues are
deeper.

resp:0 btw, what's it like..? It might be helpful for me to consider
my parent's side, so to speak.

Speaking of that, I finally was able to speak to my father about my
addictions and what I believed were some root causes. The conversation
touched quite a bit on family relations.

resp:5 I see patterns between my grandmother, mother, and my next
youngest sister in their basic reaction of "I'm not going to be like
her [my mother]" and yet wind up very much like the generation before
in certain ways.. they are all very driven, perfectionistic, etc.
