[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. You don't have choices with cancer, you can't prevent it 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. [/quote]

Opiate addiction is more deadly than most cancers.

I, too, have lost family members and friends to cancer, but I don't agree with you when you say cancer cannot be prevented. Many forms of cancer are related to behavior. And certainly addiction can actually cause cancer. [/quote]
