Which addict is worse off?

I was watching two different documentaries about addiction to painkillers. One of them would go to different doctors faking symptoms to get their fix while the other would intentionally injure himself so he could go to the hospital and get painkillers. Which one is worse off?

    The one who wrecks himself to get the pills.

    Addiction is a mental disease.. No one is worse than the other. You can't measure an addiction by how someone achieves getting their fix. They are both injuring themselves the same way.
