It is about time it was said! Drug dealers didn't kill Philip Seymour Hoffman -- Hoffman did

Dr. Ablow knows the true, simple and sad answer, no one other than Hoffman stuck the needle in his arm. I shades of the death of Lenny Bruce, Addicts and Alcoholics rarely quit actively pursuing their addictions. They are never cured, some, the few lucky ones stop, but it is never a sure thing. Addiction is too insidious and it is only the fault of the addict. m/r



Drug dealers didn't kill Philip Seymour Hoffman -- Hoffman did | Fox News

… Mr. Hoffman was the one who procured the drug, injected the drug and kept injecting the drug.  Mr. Hoffman was the one who risked leaving his girlfriend to deal with her grief and leaving their children, ages 10, 7 and 5, to deal with theirs.

Mr. Hoffman loved heroin more than he loved any human being and more than he loved himself.  

No genetic anomaly can make a person text a dealer, withdraw a stack of bills from an ATM, pick up a supply of 70 bags of heroin, tie a tourniquet around his arm and inject the stuff into his vein.  

No quirk of neurochemistry can make you rate getting high as more important than getting your kids through life.  Only a disorder of character can do that.
