"What about for those that don't have the strength to choose or the option as a family member? What do you do? "

If you have a loved one who is a drug addict/alcoholic the best thing you can do for them is to allow them to face responsibility for their own actions...be it prision, life on the streets or whatever circumstances in which they put themselves. It's called detachment or tough love.

To say we should murder...err, execute (?), someone because they are an addict is foolish. We have a justice system which doesn't allow for that.

If killing people that use/abuse drugs without due process isn't murder, then what exactly is it???? Google AlAnon for more info if you really want answers.

What are you talking about? Murder? Execute? Whose posts are you reading? Read post 58, 93, 104, 106, and tell me where I advocated harming anyone. I said these people are those you cannot change. They are lost. If they change themselves and come back to the land of the living, you are fortunate. But when was the last time you forcefully changed someone against their will?
Please read more carefully. You may find a better understanding of what the other person is saying.
