I disagree, but I have more local information on which to base my opinion and it is just my opinion. Although I do not know LL and RL myself, my ex does. My ex was an addict before I met up with him, he just caught me on a moment of sobriety, plus he is a major con artist. I was inadvertently used as an enabler. Even simply my working and paying the bills enabled him. I found out more of his history as time went on and about relationships he had with other women who did use drugs (I never have), and it was more like they enabled each other and it was joint effort to get what they both needed. The thing I have found out, there are personality disorders that cause the drug use, but there are also personality disorders caused by drug use. It's hard to determine which came first in some people - the old chicken or the egg question. Drug use also has varying degrees, just like alcohol use.
