Lifelong escapists tendencies would show up as addictive personality. And I don't see that here. Were you talking about yourself?
It's possible that you're talking about a transitory issue. Even if it's a couple of years ....it still might be temporary.
We all have Neptune somewhere and all need to escape from time to time...
It's when we can't STOP escaping that the trouble begins.
Also if we come from a family which has the tendencies of addiction or escapism this can be problematic in our own lives as we tend to 'copy' behaviors of family even if we aren't aware of it.

Neptune on a Scorpio Asc is one of the hardest placements to work with.
It's like going thru life with a veil over your eyes....you have trouble seeing clearly and others have trouble seeing the 'real you.'
EVEN when you are trying hard to be 'real' you may confuse others. It's like looking into a foggy mirror...
There will be periods when you are very clear...but the thing about Neptune is that you can never quite trust what you're looking at.
And you might either over trust or under trust others. Of course other placements will modify that Neptune....plus the progressed ascendant might help you.
If you look at your progressed chart you may find that Neptune is not a main concern anymore.
But of course the natal chart is forever....I know that sounds contradictory....but it isn't. Both things can be true.
You just need to know what is real at all times....and one way to do this is to always attempt to be honest yourself....with others AND with yourself.
the only thing you cant help is how others see you. However: you can make changes to your person that might say....I'm not spacy or confused. I'm real and down to earth and trustworthy. Remember that the Asc is only the First impression. As people get to know you they will most likely see beyone the Neptune.
BUT....Neptune on the Asc can also mean that your mom was given drugs at your birth and you didn't 'experience' it. I know....this sounds farfetched but if you've ever heard of the author Sondra Ray....she writes about the birth experience and how it can be carried with you your whole life to one degree or another . Check her out.

Hi all,
Could you include a strong Jupiter/9th house in this, travel abroad to "get away from it all" ?
