I asked an addict working toward recovery that question once. He just flat out said yes. Then he told me a story about visiting his sistery and knowing she had Rx in her bathroom, and knowing she wouldn't let him in there to get them. So he let her dog outside, knowing she would go chase the dog, giving him a chance to get what he wanted.

He looked kind of stunned by his own lizard brain behavior and I got the sense that he felt he should feel bad about it, but that he didn't actually feel bad about it.
