Why Does Our Society Respect People Who Overcome Drug and Alcohol Addictions?
Question by Dustin: Why does our society respect people who overcome drug and alcohol addictions?
We are basically told from Kindergarten that we should not use drugs or alcohol. They tell us why it is bad for us and what kinds of problems it will cause for us. When people become addicted, everything that they were told would happen, does happen. From a logical standpoint, anyone who becomes addicted to drugs or alcohol is a complete idiot. They were told their throughout their entire life not to do it or bad things would happen. They did it and bad things happened. It deeply bothers me how people who make such directly atrocious decisions are respected and admired basically because they decided to stop acting stupid being a shitty person. I refuse to look up to someone or automatically respect a person who “battled an addiction”. Its their fault they became addicted.

That is the point that society should not take care of everyone. It is up to people like us that should be the leaders whether to decide what we should do to humanity or not.
