And that's exactly what I'm saying- Hoffman chose to die. the heroin didn't stick the syringe in his arm. he did and he pushed the plunger. It's not accurate to say once a junkie, always a junkie. DUDe had $150 million dollar net worth and was surrounded by people who cared about him. He could have cleaned up by any number of means available to him. Robert downie JR did, millions of others clean up, often times in their own domiciles, under a bridge, etc.
