Overeating is the addiction of choice of carers, and that's why it's come to be regarded as the lowest-ranking of all the addictions. It's a way of fucking yourself up while still remaining fully functional, because you have to. Fat people aren't indulging in the "luxury" of their addiction making them useless, chaotic, or a burden. Instead, they are slowly self-destructing in a way that doesn't inconvenience anyone. And that's why it's so often a woman's addiction of choice. All the quietly eating mums. All the KitKats in office drawers. All the unhappy moments, late at night, caught only in the fridge light.

Nothing is ‘wrong’ with me, Dan. What’s wrong with you? she said in the same eerily quiet voice, dark eyes fixated on Dan, as she breathed heavily.

The slick concrete reflected the facades of the work weary - grey, cracked and old,
but more importantly, trodden upon.

I didn't want to take it. I knew it was a powerful drug, but I also knew it was a catabolic drug that consumed the body.

Sometimes…
Sometimes doubt is the opposite of faith, but sometimes doubt can be a pathway to faith.
Sometimes weakness is the opposite of strength, but sometimes weakness can be the pathway to strength.
Sometimes addiction is the opposite of sobriety, but sometimes addiction can be the pathway to sobriety.
Sometimes infidelity is the opposite of fidelity, but sometimes infidelity can be a pathway to fidelity.
Sometimes failure is the opposite of success, but sometimes failure can be the pathway to success.

Тоскливое состояние"!...
Нет, я, заболевший этой ужасной болезнью, предупреждаю врачей, чтобы они были жалстливее к своим пациентам. Не "тоскливое состояние", а смерть медленная овладевает морфинистом, лишь только вы на час или два лишите его морфия. Воздух не сытнй, его глотать нельзя... в теле нет клеточки, которая бы не жаждела... Чего? Этого нельзя ни определить, не объяснить. Словом, человека нет. Он выключен. Движется, тоскует, страдает труп. Он ничего не хочет, ни о чем не мыслит, кроме морфия. Морфия!
Смерть от жажды - райскаяб блаженная смерть по сравнению с жаждой морфия. Так заживо погребенный, вероятно, ловит последние ничтожные пузырьки воздуха в гробу и раздирает кожу на груди ногтями. Так еретик на костре стонет и шевелится, когда первые языки пламени лижут его ноги...
Смерть - сухая, медленная смерть...
Вот что кроется под этими профессорскими словами "Тоскливое состояние".

Mikhail Bulgakov

The reader! You, dogged, uninsultable, print-oriented bastard, it's you I'm addressing, who else, from inside this monstrous fiction. You've read me this far, then? Even this far? For what discreditable motive? How is it you don't go to a movie, watch TV, stare at a wall, play tennis with a friend, make amorous advances to the person who comes to your mind when I speak of amorous advances? Can nothing surfeit, saturate you, turn you off? Where's your shame?

Drug addicts driven to crime to finance their drug addiction are not often inclined toward violent crime. Violence requires all different kinds of energy, and most drug addicts like to expend their energy not on their professional crime but on what their professional crime lets them afford. Drug addicts are often burglars, therefore.

David Foster Wallace
