To the OP: a lack of self control. |
Perhaps a moment of weakness is what causes people to try one of the lifestyle drugs at first, but to reduce subsequent addiction to the same thing is grossly disingenuous - it's like saying people with diseases or illness just lack self-control because they cannot keep their bodies clean.
I cannot personally speak on any of the hard drugs myself, but have seen too many people near and far to me succumb to them. Everybody is weak in the face of the drug - nobody is strong, and getting over them is all too often a matter of luck and yes, sometimes determination. It is not a black and white thing in the least, despite what D.A.R.E. advocates would love for you to believe in lieu of budgets.
//I want to be clear though - I am not necessarily arguing with you at all. Addicts do lack self control, but what they need is support, empathy, candor - not condemnation, though I am not accusing you of such.
