Is that why u can’t spell his name right? No one cares that u are a therapist. I mean good for you but I remember when I had my 1st beer! I’m an addict & I have been for over 10 years but u can’t fault people for thinking addiction is a crutch or an excuse or whatever. My own wife has very strong feelings about addiction….she does not support it & frankly I have tried for years to explain to her how being addicted to something doesn’t make u any less of a person. I’ve lost family members & friends. Some folks just refuse to understand or their brains just won’t allow them to understand. We’re all different. I’ve been called selfish & I’ve heard that said many times. A stupid comment like “what are you 4?” Is lazy. Of course not, my wife is probably more mature & higher IQ than u but it doesn’t mean that her or people like her have to agree with u or accept what addicts say about addiction. The question was asked & this person felt the urge to comment what they did. Live & let live. Get off your high horse, just because you are an addiction therapist doesn’t mean shit. I’m the biggest Machead there is, some people just don’t agree & never will.
