I haven't, but I've worked with several addicts - alcohol and heroin - in my practice as a psychotherapist. In one case, the person concerned had stopped the heroin some years before but was still deeply troubled; in another, the person had stopped the heroin and the later methadone but was seriously alcoholic and came close to killing themselves while driving drunk. I'm relieved to say they've now stopped drinking. I agree, it is tragic to see people's lives ruined or lost through addiction. And I agree, the addicts I've know (professionally and personally) have been charismatic and/or highly creative people. I think the reason for the connection is that the deeply devastating pain these people feel - usually from serious difficulties in their childhood and I don't mean necessarily 'obvious' things like abuse or neglect - has spurred their creativity but because they haven't found a way to manage the overwhelming feelings, they use a drug to numb themselves and make life bearable. There are plenty of creative people who are not addicts - and I think they're the ones who've been more able to make sense of their experience and pain, who've somehow had the conceptual framework or emotional intelligence or whatever you want to call it. They've been lucky, having some context in their lives where they learned something of this. I have been really surprised by how unable the addicts I've worked with have been to express their feelings or even know about what's going on inside them. They are often incredibly engaging people, lively, intelligent - and I've assumed they could think metaphorically, identify their feelings etc and have been amazed - even shocked - to realise how unable they are to reflect on feeling and 'image' it. That's why I think long-term psychotherapy really IS the way to enable addicts to find a way out of their prison, but of course, they have to choose to engage with the process and that can be hard because it's painful, and not all therapists are great at helping people to manage all of that.

Nice one! Although his drug addiction has already made him lose all rational thought.

Funny.
You kind of confused me by using the terms"rational thought" and Rush Limbaugh" in the question at first......
Seriously, what other country lets a ranting druggie have a radio show?

he lost all rational thought long ago, but he'll never convert to a human being. he'll barely even rise to the level of court fool.
