You know, I used to think that way when I used to smoke 5 packs of cigarettes a day. I was hooked on them and one day, stopped...COLD TURKEY! I suffered some severe trauma for awhile but each day was a tiny bit better that the last until the day that I finally totally broke the bonds to to them.

Drugs are no different. You ARE going to suffer at first but each day is better than the last. However, dopers have no will-power to do anything themselves for they only want others to do it for them.

I have no pity of any doper who won’t take the hard steps to help themselves and not rely on the sympathy, sorrow and pity of others to wallow in the sewer with them.

agree to a point.. but opiate addiction is far worse than nicotine addiction... it replaces the natural chemicals in your mine... it literally makes the junkie desire drugs more than all things... those that go cold turkey, without medical assistance, can die....

but in the end... you are right... you have to want to be clean more than anything else... to have a chance at deliverance....

It is medically proven that heroin alters the brain. Heroin is the most addictive drug and difficult to quit. As I said in post 41, my son is an addict. I have spoken to many experts, read everything I could about it. It’s not the same as quitting other drugs, alcohol or cigarettes. There is nothing to compare it to.

I would note that the epidemic started after many states legalized marijuana use. It cut into the cartels
profits. Heroin is cheap, plentiful and highly addictive.
You can become addicted after just one use. It has been stated by dealers, cartel members and law enforcement that it is being actively marketed to white males...not blacks or Hispanics. Hmmm, think about that for a moment. Finally, even though this full blown epidemic is sweeping the Country, the government or public school system has not
addressed the problem. Where are the public service messages, the “just say no” campaign, the presentations from former addicts to high school students. There is none!! Kinda makes you wonder who’s side the government is on.
