 Love Yankel!
Important quote from Cordnoy
"The need is a perceived one. There has not been one reported case on these pages of a death occurrin' on account of not fulfillin' that need

“I avoid looking forward or backward, and try to keep looking upward.” 

"My recovery must come first so that everything I love in life doesn’t have to come last."

I was thinking about the fact that Rashi says that the rebellious son is killed because of his ultimate end. He will rob others in order to get his drug. People do averas all the time and Hashem doesn't kill them to prevent them from doing them, which implies that the prevention is intended as a service to the rebellious son. Somehow deep down he wants to stop but he doesn't know how, so Hashem kills him.

Some people will immediately see a distinction between this and addiction, basically for fear that the resulting self hatred will cause someone to act out, and even more people will keep quiet when this compartmentalization is expressed, for fear of retaliation. But I think here the Torah is talking about good old addiction and the remedy is entirely applicable today for those who desire it.

However I do think that nowadays for an addict to ask for death would be a haughtiness.

Plus being an addict is a huge learning experience and whenever people challenge themselves and learn new things I think Hashem has huge satisfaction from that.

I was listening to Sunday Morning Coming Down sung by Johnny Cash and I was amazed at how different it sounds than when Chris Kristofferson sings it. Johnny Cash sounds like an addict singing it, it's not bitter, it sounds a little moralistic with a lot of compassion.
