They don't cease being people and yes, being cut off is often required. Theft is one good reason.
But your heart should still be open for when and if they seek help, to help them to the proper resources.
Today a friend of mine in AA, who is a heroin addict with a record for relpase, asked me for gas money to get to treatment this week. I declined but offered to give him a ride.
You can still be a human and help those who help themselves.
I want to get into my friends house to get my percocet back

id absolutely agree with all that but add that at some point they cease to be the people yall once knew and become manipulative drug zombies
with all the widely known information out there its bafflin to me that people let theyselves fall into this trap doctors orders or not

id loveta help those who help themselves but that kinda goes against the whole principle
id agree again that them who need help could be on the brinka an upturn its very optomistic
but whod wanna git fooled outta 20 bucks for a junkie to git another fix? chances r theyre gonna make an asshole outta yall for bein nice
at some point it becomes about hope moren reality

I see. Well as a young woman in AA you learn the hustle fast. I know this guy he's cool. I gave him a beer the last time he was coming down.
He was legit this time and I will take him tomm.
