I think that addiction is a very, very important thing that has to be treated, but has to be treated as a health problem and not as a police problem.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think we need to educate our doctors about addiction.
Addiction isn't about substance - you aren't addicted to the substance, you are addicted to the alteration of mood that the substance brings.
No addiction is good.
It's an addiction... and addiction is something I should know something about.
A lot of people think that addiction is a choice. A lot of people think it's a matter of will. That has not been my experience. I don't find it to have anything to do with strength.
No one is immune from addiction; it afflicts people of all ages, races, classes, and professions.
I admire anyone who rids himself of an addiction.
Addiction is a terrible thing.
I think it's too bad that everybody's decided to turn on drugs, I don't think drugs are the problem. Crime is the problem. Cops are the problem. Money's the problem. But drugs are just drugs.
Trying to overcome addiction is one of the hardest things for a person to do. And the fact that I had to do it under the scrutiny of tabloid press at first made it seem even more difficult. But in fact, it oddly ended up being a plus. Because of the tabloid stuff, it wasn't like I could walk into a bar and order a drink.
