Yeah, as for crack, I'm not sure there are occasional users either. I do agree that trying a drug doesn't have to turn you into a fiend, or an addict. And that there are different types and say, levels of addiction, with different problems associated with them. But like alcoholism, I think addiction can be possible to hide sometimes, though there are problems brewing below the surface. I think once you've gotten to the point where you are using crack, you're probably addicted in someway. The two people I know that used crack eventually got to a point where they had to go to a program and quit for good. Although I do know people who have gone to programs for things like alcohol, or stopped other substances because they felt it was affecting their life negatively, I never saw in the same 'guaranteed' way that those who had used crack got addicted. Small sample size I know, but crack had a 100% addiction rate from what I saw, and other substances did not.

Rob's life could definitely be easier to manage with money and connections and such, but I would imagine when things get rough, as they are now, he probably feels he needs to use to cope. Could be alcohol too though.
