interesting thread & comments
It was my experience as a former mental health profession who worked in a chemical dependancy unit that no one gives up anything unless they want to give it up. I also (and I had to keep it to myself cuz of the higher ups) disagreed then and now with the *disease* concept utilized in many treatment programs.
Until someone is forcing these drug users at gun point to shoot up or snort some, IMO, its a choice these people make.
