[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Addiction kills.  Just like cancer.  It just manifests differently.

I understand the anger people are expressing in this thread.  We attempted tough love and it failed.  He died.  But we didn't have another option.  I imagine Amy and her family didn't either.

My heart is with all of them tonight.[/quote]

I know that addiction is an awful thing but I find the comparison to cancer somewhat offensive, especially since I lost my Dad to a very aggressive cancer and I have seen numerous other friends and acquaintances suffer through it. [b]You don't have choices with cancer, you can't prevent it [/b]and often there are no effective treatments. If you are an addict, you can make a conscience choice to turn your life around or not.

[b]Well, not to be too argumentative but some people do say that smokers who get lung cancer or any other kind related to smoking complications had a choice, no?  I'm sorry about your dad. I too have lost loved ones to cancer and fully expect to lose my parents to it as well.[/b][/quote]

I watched my mother's only sister die of lung cancer and she never smoked a day in her life.

As far as Amy Winehouse, I don't know her and I really don't care.  I feel sorry for her family that she put them through so much pain, but other than that I can't work up anything else over her passing.  People die every day, it's a part of life.  Some circumstances are more tragic than others, but in the end we all die.  One famous junkie's passing doesn't have any more weight than anyone else's.  [/quote]
