I feel nothing for these dead beats that go down that path in the first place. And even less for the ones that don’t see themselves as needing help. And even less for the scumbags that die from it. Natural selection. This trash was the bottom of the food chain. I have a local friend who is a CO at a max facility up here. He posted the exact same thing on FB, that you just wrote here (Addiction isn’t a disease. It’s a choice) and his other comments were a lot like yours. I'm guessing that in your line of work (for which I have the utmost respect), it's pretty easy to form these opinions. My only purpose in writing this is to say I find it interesting that two people in the same line of work said nearly identical things about the topic of drug addiction. We both know that our opinions differ on this, so it's not about debating. I just found it interesting and I can understand it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Loved Mac Miller and saw him at Lollapollza a few years ago. Sadly, I wasn’t shocked that it was drugs. It still shook me though. RIP brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not commenting on the addiction issue; by asking “who the !@#$ is Mac Miller” I was putting his death in perspective compared to the countless men and women who raised children, paid mortgages, bought groceries for dinner and get buried without as much as a quick “God’s speed”.

Doth the addict who bleeds in the battle field risk less than the average man?

Hope you don't have a son or daughter who make the "wrong choice"...though my bet is you'd feel something different. Trust me....walk a mile in our shoes bro. You don’t want to hear anymore responses from me. You’ll dislike me even more than you already do. And I don’t feel like getting another ban because my opinion differs from yours.

We both know that our opinions differ on this, so it's not about debating. I just found it interesting and I can understand it. I have been in my current profession going on 10 years now. I’ve seen it all. I spent months at drug treatment centers, and years at maximum security facilities, and I can tell you most of the time it doesn’t help. It’s not a disease (imo) it’s a habit. Bad habit more like it. Bad influences. Bad decisions. Everyone controls their own fate when it comes to this type of thing unless your a crack baby. But if your in your teens or twenties or older, you aren’t suffering from that anymore. At that point youve made bad decisions. I will refuse to give any any thought to the contrary. I’ve made bad decisions in my life and regretted things, but I’ve learned from those mistakes. I’ve had hard times growing up and as an adult and I’ve grown from that. I’ve dealt with both parents as I grew up, and my parents separating and handled that. I’ve went through school and had grades so bad (my own doing) I would have a hard time getting into the most lax colleges and I’ve grown from that. I’m not saying I’ve had a very tough life, but I have went though some tough times. I’ve learned from my mistakes, I’ve grown as a person from the things I’ve learned. Never once in all the good or bad times was I like... “hey, ya know what would be awesome right now.... doing a bunch of heroin”. Because of that, I can say that everyone has a choice. And if you make that choice to do drugs to the point that you are an addict, I feel nothing for you. You are a burden on yourself, your family, and society and you should probably end it now and save everyone the grief that you will eventually cause.
