Yes I believe that some are choices. But what about the man who has provided very well for his family and gets down sized out of his job? Say he is in his late fiftys and now is considered to uder qualified or to over qualifed. Now he get ill, termanially. Wife is working to try to help. Family is pitching in and still not enough and little be little everything starts falling apart then next you are so broke and the assistence that you might be able to recieve might be enough to maybe eat one meal a day. Your illness has required you to take strong narcotic medications, you start to feel like your not as bad off as you thought you were and suddenly the physical pain has now been replaced with emotional pain and when you started feeling like you were in pain you took more and more med's? You get out of the hospital and where you lived once is not the place you returned. Your emotional pain kickrd in which was recieve into the brain as give me more med's my pain is to much.

I'm not Lynn G-but of course poverty can lead to drug addiction. Obviously it's not a solution for the problem of poverty. Obviously, it makes the poverty worse. But drugs and alcohol provide temporary oblivion and relief from the immediate problem. Then, the effect wears off, you "wake up" and the problem is still there...
