Patty's addiction decided for her that she had suffered enough. The pain was enough. The pain of being unable to feel the pain was enough.
The unbearable pain of the struggle to be free of her addiction was a giant wave whose undertow drew her back to the ocean of her addiction. She could no longer live free. No longer free. Under she went. The undertow of addiction drowned her.
Patty's addiction could not undecide her death.
