My two junkie best friends of over 30+ years offed themselves via the needle.
I have zero sympathy for them. This is a chosen path. No ignorance to claim, no fault but their own. I know people have some weird soft-spot for them, but I can tell you from witnessing it myself- they won’t ever even try to help themselves as long they are coddled by everyone.
Have you ever tried not to have a mental illness? It’s kind of the same deal. Addiction is an illness, not a failure of willpower. Resentment is understandable I guess, it truly is fatiguing to try and help someone who isn’t ready. But I really don’t think “it’s a chosen path”.
My junkie eldest brother spent many a night sleeping on my couch, I know how it goes.

Junkies don’t become junkies for shits and giggles.
No, they do it because they’re fucking stupid.
If that were true, all conservatives would be junkies.
Ok? Why are you acting like I’m sympathizing with them? Just because my brother is one doesn’t mean I don’t hate them.
Oh I’m not. I’m just expanding on my reasoning.
oh, ok.
