I've always believed junkies and alcoholics were selfish pigs.

Jesus said "love thy neighbor". I'm sure he meant you should act like it too.

Selfish - yes. Pigs - no.

[Ikeon]

At what point does loving your neighbor become self detrimental? I don't believe in giving everything you have to save your neighbor from himself. Eventually at one point a junkie will take you with him down the toilet. Then what good are you to anybody else who really needs and wants help? Save yourself first , if that means walking away from a bad situation , so be it. Even Jesus at one point shook the dirt from he feet and walked away from a town that rejected him outright. Selfish and pig go together. Its not a literal description.
