Topic	i don't like it when people use "drug addict" to devalue people

As someone who has been poor af and generally struggled through life without drinking or even taking Tylenol as far as drugs go, I just gotta tell addicts with sob stories and reasonings to man up. And I had a pretty shit life. Reliance on something else to make me feel happy just would never cut it for me, had to actually get there. Life is hard. Just gotta deal with it. Granted I've actually helped two friends kick their habits and kinda converted them to my ways. They do need help, but not pity. They need to face reality. It's a choice that turns in to a disease ultimately, but you always choose to get there in the end. i don't think you understand what addicition is. it's not a coping mechanism. it's chemical reliance. what's more, just because your life sucked and went in one direction, doesn't mean that it's the same for others. some people muscle themselves out of depression. others have to slowly rise. everyone's different, and empathy will help you realize this. pinky0926 posted... Yyou're looking for compassion and empathy in absolutely the worst place, I'm afraid. Can't expect the usual suspects on CE to have goodwill towards other people when they clearly hate themselves so much. i'm not looking for empathy at all. i'm promoting it. --- idk <cite>BloodyNate posted [p:905342059] in i don'...
