Addiction seems to be a symptom of our 'over-successful' society in many ways... A few decades ago, addiction was seen as belonging to the down-and-outs of society. More recently addiction has been seen as a symptom of success. Although since the sixties, the world of Rock & Roll has been synomynous with addiction, this has now widened to include all of the entertainment industry and even the world of business and high-finance, trickling down to the high street and suburbia.
Far from carrying a stigma, a period spent in drug rehab is considered almost obligitary as part of the trappings of success.
