Addicts behave like addicts. People pleasing addicts are a little bit harder because others enjoy having people pleasers around. But like all addicts if you're a people pleaser you will spend most of your time manipulating everybody's impression about you and coming off as a very false and inauthentic person. This does tremendous damage to the family not to mention to the Self. With chemical addictions people will often finally speak up but it's very hard to prove people pleasing therefore it is much harder for a people pleaser to get into recovery.
