An example of a Baal Teshuva who reverted back to being a secular Jew is Matisyahu. How prevalent is it, I don’t know. The difference between an addict and a baal teshuva is that one is in a physical danger while the other is in a spiritual danger. I am just trying to say that the danger is similar yet you seem to be okay with a Baal Teshuva but not with a recovering addict.
