Remember, it’s not your fault.
We have reached a mindset in this country where people are no longer responsible for their actions but rather an uncontrollable addiction forces people against their free will do do things that are harmful. Therefore, we excuse people who smoke, drink too much, snort coke or do smack because they are victims.
Instead, we must understand that everyone has a choice to smoke or do drugs and their substance abuse problem is not an addiction but rather a poor lifestyle choice. Thus, the concept of addiction simply provides an excuse for such behavior.
