You’ve never dealt directly with addiction, have you?
Actually I have. And one of the cornerstones of treatment was owning up to your mistakes. The ones that did best were the ones that took ownership of their part in the addiction. Drugs are a symptom of a greater illness in our society. People are using drugs yo fill holes in their lives. But they just make new and worse holes.

Additionally, people haven’t dealt with chronic debilitating pain that doctors refuse to treat. No excuse but it is life in a fallen world.
