Unfortunately, Ridgewalker, by using your method of calculating sympathy points, substance abusers are commonly in the red. I'm rating one star because 0 stars is not available.
If a person is genuinely unhappy to the extent that he or she is taking conttrolled substances that are endangering his life, said individual should A) get medical assistance and clean up, or B) put a pistol in his mouth and get it over with.
Of course the proper thing to do or the welfare of others rarely crosses the mind of a junkie as addiction is a completely self-absorbed state of being. Most people who become major users are relatively self-indulgent and self-absorbed to begin with.
