5 Facts About Philip Seymour Hoffman’s Addiction
4. An addiction can be chronic just like a disease
Just like some diseases, a drug addiction can be chronic and you will have to deal with it for the rest of your life. You can have remissions and something might trigger you to get back to your old ways. We may never know what caused Hoffman to go back to drugs, but he did and that proved to be fatal for him.
5. There is no cure for addictions like his
Unless you make up your mind and be strong about not wanting drugs to survive another day, there is really no cure for it. You can go to how many ever addiction centers, but you won’t get cured until you decide that enough’s enough.
The movie industry has lost a great actor to heroin addiction. Many more actors are addicts and recovering or slowly dying. Awareness has to be created about the damaging effects of heroin so we do not lose many more people we love and admire.
