[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The vast majority of addicts suffer from depression or anxiety (or both) brought on by childhood trauma. They use substances like drugs and alcohol to self-medicate. This is a fact.

You can find a sob story in just about anyone's life.  ANYONE can be become addicted to addictive substances.  Most of us don't dabble in drugs long enough to know which substance is our own Achille's (misspelled sorry) heel.  But as a former smoker, myself, I know that addiction is very real and very physical and it happens after you make the conscious choice to expose yourself (repeatedly) to an addictive substance.

Lamar was doing what he was doing - hookers, drugs, drinking - because he was indulging himself in elaborate fashion and it felt good.  Someone like Whitney Houston was a full blown addict - the pictures of her hotel bathroom are  :shock: . [/quote]

You're seriously delusional and sound completely unhinged. Anyone who loves an addict or works in this arena (check both boxes for me) understands *how and why* addicts become addicts. And it most certainly is not a fun choice as you have asserted. As I was driving my sister to the er the other night as she was going through withdrawal, she looked at me with tears in her eyes and told me that she doesn't want to be "like this" (meaning an addict)...that she didn't choose this...but you would probably discount that given that she partied in high school...20 years ago.

Please step away from this thread...you clearly are clueless. [/quote]

Why does it matter that your sister wants to quit...that that nothing to do with what is being said, that she intentionally used illegal drugs to get to where she was.  No-one put a gun to her head and made her take them. She was sober one day and she decided she WANTED to try it.  The only thing you could argue is that she didn't know that she would become addicted like she did.  But that is just lack of judgment and poor decision making.  At the end of the day is is still [i]intentional[/i] use that lead to her addiction.   Most addicts don't "want to be like this anymore", but it doesn't really make much difference after the fact. Yes, your sister chose that path, she just regrets it now...or did someone else choose it for her?

Let's all quit responding to this hogwash. The poster is strangely very bothered by this story and not making a lick of sense.[/quote]
