Addiction

If you have been a big Supernatural fan since the beginning, you would know that at some point in the show you start to notice that each character develops an addiction for something.

For instance, let's start with Dean. Dean has many addictions; saving his brother, sex, alcohol and yes of course pie! I think the first two seasons, almost every episode Dean was either eating pie or mentioning it. Then you see him with his other addictions as well like sex with multiple girls, alcohol to cope with hard times and making sure his little Sammy was safe and sound and that no one was hurting him.

In season 4, Sam becomes addicted to Demons blood because Ruby (a demon) told him that it would make him stronger and able to defeat any demon that comes his way. Since Sam was determined to not let the Apocalypse happen, he listened to Ruby and drank the blood. He did this not knowing that it would almost become like a drug to him and he would crave it whenever he didn't have any for days, just like a drug addict.

Castiel had his addictions as well. When Famine, one of the Four Horsemen was around, Castiel became addicted to hamburgers due to his vessel craving the taste of red meat. The whole episode he spent eating burger after burger. But that wasn't Cas' only addiction. He was addicted to making things right in the eyes of God. When he couldn't do that he tried to be God by swallowing the souls of the creatures from purgatory. This ended up back firing when the Leviathan took over his body and killed hundreds of innocent people.

  If you watched last nights episode, you would of saw how bad Crowley's addiction to human blood is getting. He has become careless about his job as a demon and resorted to human ways; sex, hunger, feelings and satisfaction. This began when the trails were being done in the last season, the trails that almost killed Sam. Crowley was almost human again before Dean stepped in to stopped the trails. Ever since then Crowley has been craving human blood and is going to any lengths to get it.

I think with each of them having their own addictions, it makes it easier for them to understand one another and to understand what they are going through. Sam kicked the demon blood habit and Castiel is now trying to fix the mistakes he has made but leaving the work of God in God's hands. As for Crowley and Dean, do you think they will ever break their addictions? I guess we are going to have to wait and see.

Until next time my friends!
