I know plenty of people who can't hold down jobs because of alchohol addiction.
I watched my father die a hideous, painful, lingering death due to smoking.
I have played with heroin a couple of times; Cocaine, amphetamines, ecstasy and lsd rather more extensively; cannabis, tobacco and alcohol are regular staples.
The only drug i have never been able to step away from is tobacco.
I saw a programme a few years ago looking at a history of drug use and drug legislation in britain. One of the things that surprised me was the fact that lots of heroin addicts prior to its being made illegal were able to hold down jobs just fine.
