ADDICTION. The only DISEASE you are punished for having. Those who have no clue shout, “let them die. Narcan is wasted on an addict” and my favorite ” Thin the herd.”
Let’s remember, many of those hated people, those who are thought of as disposable and a waste to save, are sons, daughters, fathers and mothers. They are teachers, pilots, nurses and doctors. They are Prince, Michael, Whitney and Heath. Bon Jovis daughter and Rob Reiners son. They became addicted to legally prescribed pills that were marketed under the lie of being safe.
The people so many hate became victims of the lies told by Big Pharma and the FDA. These victims are buried with the hateful stigma that makes it impossible to get the treatment so readily available to victims of any other chronic DISEASE.
I hope you will think before you continue to bash and spew hatred at people who suffer from addiction. You have no idea the battle they fight and the barriers they face. You have not walked in their shoes but you speak of hating those you don’t even know.
My son, Matt was a victim of pill pushing doctors. I watched his struggle to live. I watched as he fought against a system that doesn’t care. I watched as he was shuffled around because insurance companies don’t care. Matt is my hero. All those who suffer from this misunderstood, mistreated disease are my heroes. All you who hate, I hope addiction never knocks on your door. Every life matters.

Addiction is not a disease it is a choice. The sooner you figure that much out for yourself, the better off you will be.
That just goes to show you how ignorant you are on the subject.
