Yeah, that's not the way addiction works. My Mom cleaned up her act to a degree after she gave birth to me: she left my abusive father. But she kept doing cocaine for another 10 years. Nowadays she's a prescription drug addict. There is no logic when it comes to addicts, except the fact that their affliction is a disease. A disease that can't be treated by things that would make other folks straighten up their act (such as having children).

The thing about addicts is, they always have these grand, beautiful plans that never get accomplished. Stevie wanted to make a Rhiannon movie. She wanted to make a Goldfish & Ladybug cartoon. She wanted to write a book. She's been talking about all of these things since the late 1970s. Coming from a family of addicts, I can tell you- none of these things are going to happen. Just like her adopting never happened. I truly think most addicts have well meaning intentions- but they just have no capability when it comes to following through.
