The day people realize an addiction is HARD to quit is the day i'll die peacefully. Addiction is something someone else cannot control! ITS HARD TO RECOVER!! So when you shame people for their way of coping that harms NO ONE else. {Drug use and alcoholism} No im not enabling it im just addressing the fact that it is a hard addiction to get out of and that blaming people who are going through that makes you just as bad as the addiction itself. ALSO recovery isn't linear. You can't only like people who are recovering because if they relapse, you're going to start hating them? How stupid is that. Also diagnosis is a privilege you can fight me on that. Because what if someone is addicted to something to the point that they couldn't live without it? Are they not valid because they aren't diagnosed? What sense does that make. Anyways if you have an issue with this you can fight me on it at @tobio.

yeah this is something everyone who's looked into it for even a second knows. shame doesn't help, it just keeps people in the cycle one way or another. some people think of addiction as a personal failure or a bad choice, but drug addiction is better understood as something like an illness, which people need love, support, and medical intervention to recover from.
you're so real for this. behavioral addictions too, even if it doesn't physically screw with your health. they're bad man
