對一般影迷來說,菲力普‧霍夫曼(Philip Seymour Hoffman)之死是天妒英才,是演藝界的鉅大損失;但這事衝擊更大的,是那些吸毒成癮後戒毒成功,或仍在掙扎以求脫離毒品誘惑的人。
霍夫曼的吸毒史在戒毒圈廣為人知,他「清醒」(不碰毒品)已經廿三年,因而演出好片子,並獲得奧斯卡獎,所以成為戒毒者的好榜樣。然而,這樣的人,仍然會一朝毒癮復發而吸毒過量致死,那麼其他戒毒看似成功的人,是否真能保證此生永能不再觸碰毒品?
對霍夫曼之死,戒毒者不禁要問: "What does this mean for me, the recovering alcoholic or drug addict? Can all my years of sobriety, years I have fought hard to maintain, slip away more easily than I acknowledge? If it happened to someone universally respected by his peers, and one who had been open about his own years of sobriety, could it also happen to me?"(出處)[試譯]這對我意味著什麼?對我們這種酗酒成癮或吸毒成癮的人,意味著什麼?這麼多年來我奮力保持清醒,不碰毒品,是不是突然有一天會輕易地重陷毒阱?像霍夫曼這麼一位備受尊崇的人,這麼一位願意與大家分享戒毒經驗的人,最後還是逃不出毒品的魔手,那我呢?
