And what is the point you have proved? That an addiction to booze, smack and crack will kill you sooner? Damn right it will. My point didn't lie in the instant severity of the substance abuse. I was just trying to provide a comparison you can relate to in terms of the power of a drug addiction. Surely you can sympathise with that?
Take your addiction to nicotine - one I share - and multiply it by a thousand and you'll get a crack and smack addict.
'I could quit sure but I don't want to. It'll only kill me when I'm old anyway'.
'I could quit but boy does this feel good ... even if I could die next week'.
You
could quit fags even though they will very likely - and quoting your age really is futile - be a contributing cause in your eventual death. And yet you aren't quitting them.
In Amy's case lower the mortality rate and up the addiction rate. See where I'm coming from?
