Well then it also comes from a place of ignorance because going cold turkey from heroin A) doesn't work if it's forced and not voluntary and B) can cause serious health complications, including death.
Also, other than that one post most of her point seemed to be that "No one forces someone to be an addict, therefore it is their own fault, therefore they deserve no sympathy".
It's true that no one forces it, though there can be complicated circumstances, so "whose fault it is" is tricky and irrelevant. Either way, someone being in a bad position through making mistakes is still deserving of compassion and sympathy... why wouldn't they be? NO ONE is perfect. Some people **** up worse than others, but we all **** up. If an addict hasn't done anything to hurt anyone (other than themselves, and their loved ones because of what they're doing to themselves) then why wouldn't people be compassionate? It's different when someone has turned to violent crime like mugging people to support a habit, I get it when people lack sympathy then, but most addicts are not actually violent criminals :shrug:.
[edit] I'm not trying to lecture you on this parm as I know from past posts there's absolutely no need to. I'm just pointing out that people have very valid reasons for criticising Ailiyah's posts.
