[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My relative was a sweet person with two young children who became addicted to heroin. It is a slippery slope. First alcohol and pot, then oxy, and lastly heroin. Died between treatment facilities. Our culture loves to be high on something. All drugs including alcohol and pot are just an escape from reality. But once you start down that road sometimes there is no going back. You physically and mentally get addicted. The people selling the stuff are all about making money off a culture that wants to be drunk or high. The alcohol and beverage industry, the pharmaceutical industry, the drug cartels, the pot growers- even the rehab industry are making money off humans that want to get drunk or high and at some point can't stop getting drunk or high. Addiction can happen to anyone because that is how humans brains respond to drugs and alcohol. I feel most empathy for people with chronic pain because there are few long term solutions. Humans are so messed up. Sometimes I will be watching tv or listening to the radio and there will be an advertisement for beer or vodka and a few minutes later there will be one for a rehab facility. Drugs and Alcohol are a zillion dollar industry that don't mind that the product they are selling kills people.[/quote]

This.
And it has zero to do with race, SES, what school your kid attends, if you are a SAHP, etc. Addiction is a disease and does not discriminate.[/quote]
