This isn't so much a question as it is a mini-rant. I've sadly had many addicts in my life. Some who now have sobriety, and some that I wonder/worry if they will ever find inner peace. It seems the average person has this idea of who an addict is, what they look like, act like etc and it's so not the reality of addiction. Not every addict, including active addicts are homeless, dirty, stupid, dangerous or degenerate people. They're in every walk of life, and most often you wouldn't be able to tell by looking at them that they struggle with these demons. So I'm sharing this list of celebrities that have spent time in rehabs in the hopes of opening anyone's eyes as to how this disease can touch anyone's life. If it hasn't touched yours, consider yourself blessed. http://www.drugalcohol-rehab.com/famous-addicts.htm A couple names on the list that may surprise you.... Betty Ford, J. Paul Getty, Jr., Robert F. Kennedy Jr.,Ben Affleck,Mary Tyler Moore,Jenna Bush,Prince Harry,D. Cheney- check out the list for more.

when i was an addict i actually had more money than i do now. there are many people who have been addicts and ben successful but people hear that someone is an addict and instantly assume that they are homeless and will mug their own mothers just for a 10bag this is often not the case
