[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look, you can be snide all you want. I'm clean. I'm not tearing apart my family, destroying my kids' childhood, straining social resources because I couldn't pass on the chance to do a substance and get hooked on it.[/quote]

LOL you think *we're* snide. Did you grow up in Jamaica, Queens? Did your dad leave your family because he was addicted to heroin, thus not only saddling you with abandonment issues but a proclivity toward addiction yourself? Did your mom die of cancer when you were 12? Did you lose a 6 month old to SIDS? No? None of this? Even one of these things? Then STFU about how you're so high and mighty because you would never DARE to even try a drug to escape the hell that is your life, or because you didn't know any better, or because you were genetically inclined to do so.

NP here and I agree with the gist of your points about treating addiction as a complex issue, being sympathetic, etc. etc. However you seem to be making lots of conjectures here. Even if Lamar's life has been tough in some ways it might be that the guy was hooked on drugs and promiscuity for the pleasure of it, period. Addiction is not always about depression, inner demons and dark holes, you know. Sometimes people are just after a high, have thrill seeking/adventurous personalities, and may not give a shit about consequences. They keep pushing boundaries and may end like Lamar, or maybe nothing bad will ever come out of it. When you combine certain tendencies with trying to live an hedonistic and careless lifestyle, you somehow invite consequences to yourself. [/quote]
