Negative Spillovers of Addiction

From Charlie Sheen's father, Martin Sheen:

"Because when you're addicted, you don't grow emotionally. So. when you get clean and sober you're starting at the moment you started using drugs or alcohol," the actor tells the UK's Telegraph magazine. "You're emotionally crippled."

Important for any of us who put a lot of focus on any one of our flaws.
