Sick Addiction

Leaving the technicals alone - since you're rewriting it anyway - I'd like to just say your sympathy for the addict, and your understanding of the addiction drive, are both far greater than mine. I tend to be very condemnatory toward such acts, which is not particularly constructive, but reflects the way I was raised, which is to believe that one should exercise more willpower. Life has taught me the limitations of the will and the cost of its exercise, yet a balanced living requires more of it than is currently fashionable. I like the fact that you've presented your view as an understanding non-addict.
