While it took awhile for my AB to be caught for drug related crimes, the things he kept getting in trouble for before were essentially related to his drug habits in the end. Expired tags on his vehicle, a single car accident with a reckless driving charge, parking tickets, speeding ticket, fines and penalties on unpaid bills and collections, missing traffic court........I would say all of that is drug related because A) he had no funds for anything BUT drugs, and B) he had no time for anything BUT drugs.
So my AB managed a great life with no real issues with the law or penalties until drugs came on the scene. All the petty junk he kept complaining was just 'bad luck' and folks 'out to get him', all went back to drugs. Having a conversation with him sometimes is like stepping out of reality....when they say drugs change how the mind works they aren't kidding.
