I'm with Winnie on this quite strongly. A true sociopath has no human connections whatsover. Think Charles Manson, Jeffrey Dahmer. They have narcissistic tendencies and are incapable of empathy. It is a very serious mental illness and not that common. Are there sociopaths who have addiction problems? Of course but you can't read some thing and say 'a ha! he must be that'. It is far more complex and quite a serious diagnosis. Labelling someone a sociopath is an exercise in futility. You can't catch it like an illness either. They show symptoms early on in childhood.
