Story Behind The Song
Dickie was once love-struck for quite some time. Couldn't get this girl out of his head. He wrote this song about it. (But, this is also a showcase of his writing, singing and lead guitar playing abilities. Recorded on multi-track tape in a basement studio.)
Song Description
A song that compares a love-addiction to the physical effects of a drug or alcohol dependency. Lightly compares these emotionally addictive feelings of passionate human desire to chemical addictions.

Lyrics
Well, I quit smokin and I quit drinkin, but I can't stop thinking of you. Crawled out of the bottle. "No smokin's" my motto, but I can't abstain from you. You're my main addiction; a chronic affliction. I'm dependent with you.
Sobriety has been painless. Kickin the habits a success,
but I cant get over you. I guess that I'm withdrawlin; oh, I'm still fallin' boots over ass for you. This is my confession, you're my obsession 'cause I'm possessed with you.
Yeah, I paid some prices with the rest of my vices but I've just gone broke with you. Now I'm degenerating with all of this waiting, and still no cure for you. I put up a good fight, so read me my last rights 'cause I'm terminal with you.
