DRUG OR ALCOHOL ADDICTION IS NOT A CHOICE
IT IS NOT HAPPY
IT IS NOT THEIR FAULT
IF YOU EVER BLAME THE ADDICT, YOU ARE THE PROBLEM AND THE REASON THEY CANNOT GET BETTER
ALMOST EVERY SINGLE SUBSTANCE ABUSER PICKED UP THE FIRST DRUG, CIGARETTE, OR BEER BECAUSE THEY HAD ROUGH LIVES AND THEY NEEDED AN ESCAPE.
ADDICTION IS A DISEASE AND IT IS A HARD ONE TO OVERCOME, BECAUSE THAT FIRST SHOOT UP BECOMES TWO, THEN TEN, THEN A HUNDRED.
THAT FIRST DRINK BECOMES THREE, THEN ELEVEN, THEN A HUNDRED.
DO NOT GLORIFY IT.
I HAVE WATCHED PEOPLE DIE
I HAVE WATCHED PEOPLE I LOVED DIE
I HAVE WATCHED PEOPLE I LOVE DESTROY THEIR FUTURES AND RUIN THEIR FAMILIES AND IT IS NEVER
FUCKING NEVER THEIR FAULT
IT IS AN ILLNESS
IF YOU EVER, IN MY PRESENCE, GLORIFY THE USE OF DRUGS OR ALCOHOL, OR INSULT THOSE WITH THE ADDICTION ILLNESS, I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU, AND I WILL GO OFF ON YOU
BECAUSE MY DAD DOESN’T CHOOSE TO NEGLECT ME FOR A BEER
MY UNCLE BOB DIDN’T CHOOSE TO DIE
MY UNCLE JAMES DIDN’T CHOOSE TO RUIN HIS BRAIN
MY UNCLE BOBBY DIDN’T CHOOSE TO GIVE UP HIS DAUGHTER
MY FAMILY IS RIDDEN WITH ADDICTS
AND IF YOU DARE GLORIFY THE USE
OR INSULT THE ADDICT
YOU ARE THE PROBLEM AND YOU ARE THE REASON THEY CANNOT GET BETTER.
