The problem with trying to find a connection between CH and past lifestyles is that so many different unrelated things can appear to be implicated that it becomes impossible to sift through them and ascertain with any degree of certainly which ones might be the culprits. In the case of substance abuse, I'm strongly inclined to think that there may be at most a tenuous correlation between CH and an addictive personality, nothing more. As someone else suggested, if there is a cause and effect relationship between substance abuse and CH, clusterheads should be far more numerous than they are.
