I think the anecdotal evidence that we've all seen bears out the idea that putting down the substance is only a step in the right direction. Without some sort of recovery program, most addicts/alcoholics either relapse or stay stuck in the feelings they ran from all those years. Of course there are exceptions, and that's wonderful for them. What's frightening is that sooooooooooo many want to believe they are the exception, and so few actually are, that many people die needlessly at the hands of this powerful disease...
Time and again, I've seen that a life run on self-will tends to cycle back on itself like a snake chasing its tail. Eventually, the snake consumes itself...
But on the lighter side...
