Since there are so many parts to life, including practical stuff, emotions, etc. I am thinking of it like the old fashioned scales that have sort of a 'pan' on each side. I suspect that for addicts, a lot of the emotions that would weigh heavily might feel lighter when they're numbed by drugs, but maybe the practical things weigh heavier when they screw up due to drug use. I guess it comes down to which pan is heavier & how much heavier it is!
