he is an adict isn't he? I always assumed thats why he was sent away because of it.

No he was sent away because that island is only allowed a certain amount of awesome per square mile and he was clearly throwing us way over the limit.

I endorse this viewpoint.

Yes, I've known heroin addicts who can support a gram a day addiction by going to work at a tough job every day, and spending a certain portion of their money on heroin so that they're well enough to continue working the following day. Drugs don't make people as dysfunctional as some try to make it seem.
