When People Have Drug or Alcohol Addiction Do They Need the Alcohol or Drug as Much as They Need Food?

Question by AnonymousGuy: When people have drug or alcohol addiction do they need the alcohol or drug as much as they need food?
I watched a Dr. Phil episode and came away realizing how hard alcoholism and drug addiction are and bothered that society frowns upon people with addiction. I know we have to motivate them to seek help, but otherwise if for example an alcoholic craves for alcohol as much as we would for water then its not their fault when they get drunk. Same with drug addiction though certainly alcoholism is easier to fall into since its legal.

Why Does Charlie Sheen Continue to Flaunt His Drug Addiction to the Public?

Question by Curious: Why does Charlie Sheen continue to flaunt his drug addiction to the public?
Why does Charlie Sheen think its alright to flaunt his drug use and addiction to the public? In interviews he admits its ok for him to smoke crack cause he can keep it “Social”. Doesn’t he know that law enforcement and the courts are watching him and admitting this stuff isn’t very smart to do? I wouldn’t be surprised if his house one day is raided by the cops or some drug dealer kills him cause they can’t stand that he doesn’t keep his mouth shut.
