I just read this comment - "people don't understand that when you're a drug addict it's not your fault."
In your opinion, where does the blame lie?
Whose fault is it if one is a diabetic? The overwhelming consensus of the medical community is that addiction to drugs and alcohol is a disease. And if that is not enough for you...one would think that if insurance companies cover the cost for treatment, then they too consider it a disease. You all know good and well that those cheap bastards won't pay for anything they don't have to.
And yeah, yeah...I've seen/heard the typical arguments that no one is holding a gun to the addicts head to make him/her use..so therefore it's a choice, not a disease. The thing is, it's a disease of the brain. One that inhibits a person from making rational decisions.
Where I tend to be unsympathetic, is the ones that use the disease thing as an excuse, and don't get treatment (much like the example cited in Duchess' OP). That irritates me as well. I would not feel sorry for the diabetic who got sicker and sicker because he/she did not seek treatment for their disease.
If anyone would care to educate themselves, and have about an hour to kill...check out the video below. Your eyes may be opened a little bit, and you might be better able to make an informed opinion on this subject. Mccauley is an excellent speaker, very knowledgeable, and puts his opinions in a very easy to understand presentation. Also, has a great video out called Pleasure Unwoven, if ya got an addict in your life, it's well worth the $30 for the video.
