I'm going to go out on a limb here and just say... As a recovering addict, (Heroin was my monkey for seven years), I actually kinda get MOST of what he said.
There is a feeling of being not right in your own skin when you're sober that people who aren't addicts just can't understand.
When I used, it wasn't just all about the using the drugs, but it was the thrill of going to a shitty neighborhood in Detroit to get them, it was the excitement of piling in a car with three other people to go on an ~adventure~ of a drug-run.
Sober life without some other adreniline rush IS boring. Meetings are boring. Therapy is boring. Being a regular old person without that thrill IS boring.
I've been clean and sober now for almost 10 years and there ARE times when you are just white-knuckling your way through and it feels totally fake and like you BELONG in some gutter somewhere... It's a self-worth issue.
You don't feel you deserve to be a decent person, and it just feels WRONG.
You do it anyway, and learn that you can live it, ONE DAY AT A TIME and, if necessary, ONE MINUTE at a time.
The only thing he should be slugged for is the 'Avoid crack, unless you can handle it socially.'
Truth be told, NO ONE smokes CRACK ~socially~.
A few lines here and there could be a social user, but freebasing crack is not a social experience or drug.
