A lot of talented and enormously successful men fell into the trap of addiction, including the likes of Picasso, (opium), Edgar A. Poe (alcohol/drugs), JFK (Rx drugs) Freud (cocaine), etc. Not to mention the long list of modern pro athletes, actors and politicians. Addiction is NOT always born of some moral disorder and shouldn't be looked at that way anymore.
I was talking about conservatives who eshew such things and have been squirming ever since this icon was found out. Not to mention committing crimes.
