How do addicts afford their addictions?

Holding up thanks Sadie, still off the gear at least. Thank you for asking

Thats great news. I suppose we've all done things we're not proud of. The past however is in the past and no amount of desire can change that sadly. We can only try and be better people moving forward.
 
The answer to this question, in my opinion, is we don't. We can't afford it.

Answer these:

If you had no money to purchase food or drink how would you obtain it? Unless you had some sort of rich relative / friend chances are you would steal it, get into debt or obtain it with whatever means possible. Why? Because you literally need food or drink to survive, at both a physiological n psycholical level.

Right enter addiction.

When one is "addicted," they are psychologically n physiolucally in need of whatever the substance is ie it become as important, if not more so than food.

So basically, from this analogy, is it not acceptable that an addict will not whatever necessary to survive? ie 'feed their addiction.'

Most addicts can afford their addictions at first but as they get deeper may not always be able to.

I'm tired, it's been a long day so will leave it at that

Whilst I understand the logic, I must answer the (admittedly rhetorical) question with "no".
Addiction can make a cracking excuse for one's behaviour, and can be used to absolve one of any guilt/remorse for their actions. Don't get me wrong, I know full-well just how much a serious drug habit can alter one's perceptions; I pretty much traded my life for my fix, I lost everything that is all too often taken for granted - home, health, hope, family, friends, dignity and so, so much more. However, my actions were not acceptable - I had a choice every time I acted. I chose to behave in the way I did and chose to do the things I did. I had a choice every time I left the house to score. I had a choice every time I stabbed a hypodermic needle into my arm.
My addictions have driven me to Rock Bottom, but ultimately; it was my decision to continue down that road, my mistake in remaining there, and my choice to do it in the first place.

The only addiction I really had to dig deep to fund was cocaine.
I could never steal enough to obtain the amounts of blow I booted...
Eventually I found myself driving 100's of miles to buy the Devil's dandruff @ 3-$400 an ounce.

I have a hard time stealing in the 1st, and no drug changes that.
My "good times" stopped when my Pop confronted me, and dumped out 2ounces of boogersugar and 1/2 an ounce of tar in a public trashcan after a blown paycheck and 12hr drive.

nice to see you back :)
 
^ Hey, didn't you recently admit to stealing thousands to keep yourself high on heroin?
 
By throwing yourself into massive debt, every saving, extending your overdraft to the limit, credit cards, payday loans, lying, lying and more lying until you have to start stealing, and then some more lying. That is unless you're a millionaire or win the lottery but for the average person that's the usual path.
