Im with Boco too, you have to take responsibility for yourself. Sure sometimes it would be far easier to get yourself in to a state of oblivion by drugs or drink, but you have to have the strength of character to face up to life.
In my own personal, small experience, a lot of addicts are just running from their responsibilities, rather than facing up to them. I guess it is an easy way out for some people, and the way that society views addicts as victims only pampers to this attitude.
