Ever deal with a serious alcoholic? Not much difference really except junkies and crackheads have to associate with some pretty unsavory characters to get their fix whereas the alcoholic can buy his fix from the corner store. As far as the damage and pain they cause themselves and those around them, not much difference at all.

Yeah, I've had to deal with alcoholics.

And they were mild compared to crackheads and methheads that I've know.

So tell me - have YOU ever had to deal with crackheads and/or methheads?

Yes I have and I've dealt with some pretty hardcore alcoholics. The alcoholic who loses his job and winds up in the hospital after a days long drinking binge isn't a whole lot different from the crackhead or methhead who does the same. Heroin junkies, on the other hand, can function surprisingly well, keeping their addiction hidden until the withdrawal symptoms kick in.
