And let’s not forget he had the money to go away on a tropical island and get clean. Most have to sweat it out and hope they survive.
Blaming the dealer is like blaming someone else for someone’s suicide. The only person responsible for killing him or herself is the one that’s dead.
He could have spent millions on the finest therapy in the finest settings and he threw it away. The dealer wouldn’t be there if in fact he wasn’t wanted. Most sweat out their addictions in prison, or a less than nice rehab facility.
It’s not like he was short of friends he could talk to. I am dead sure that if for five minutes he had realized all he had, he would have been easily able to face it all. He could have conquered his demons and gone on to ever more glorious heights. He could have been a fine example and success story.
The dealer is being treated like the scapegoat. Like it’s his fault that he has customers. Hoffman would have been able to go to someone else.
