    That’s an exceptionally ironic response to scientific studies pointing mapping out the chemical processes behind the above. You’re just desperately trying to justify feeling better than others.

    Some people can drop severe drug addictions on their own. Most can’t. Do you treat ex addicts that way too? Tell them it’s agency and responsibility when their fucked up chemical response messes with their head?

    If you actually wanted to help others, you’d spend less time condemning people you don’t know and spend more time figuring out why they have problems

      i mean, if you’re addicted to heroin, then at some point you’re going to have to make the conscious decision to quit. methadone, rehab, interventions–yea all that stuff can help, but it’s not going to replace people having to make decisions about whether they want to go back to the drugs again

      if you insist you’re powerless, then i guess you are. best of luck to you
