Addiction Holder

undefined: An addiction holder is a headmate who holds addictions for the system. This can include nicotine addiction, drug addiction, alcoholism, sex addiction, gambling addiction, and any other addictions/dependencies. The headmate can also hold withdrawal symptoms or other symptoms of addiction (mood swings, depression, paranoia, etc.)

An addiction holder may form from addiction-related trauma, or for other reasons.

An example of an addiction holder could be a headmate who takes on the symptoms of drug addiction to prevent the rest of the system from feeling a dependency on drugs.
