The sad reality is that for the addict, the reality these photos reveal will have little impact; it is just another price addiction exacts. The other thing that will come into play, is the addict never believes that they will be like all the others. The addict believes that they will be the one that escapes what has happened to all others with the same addiction. There-in is the insanity portion of addiction; doing the same thing, and expecting a totally different outcome.
