I don't think they do. Unless you've got a load of evidence to back that claim up. It's a difficult subject, not a one size fits all type of thing. What i reckon we'll find is that those at the bottom of the social ladder will suffer more, while those with a decent lifestyle, job, housing and support network can function with addiction much better. We all make mistakes, sometimes it's for a reason, other times it's not. One thing for sure though is that if there's sufficient support and willingness around that person they have a much better chance of recovery. You've done it yourself, well done, must be difficult at times. Not everyone is you though.
