I was actually thinking about this earlier... it really sucks how so many people are tossed off to the side(or in a cage) and disregarded by the general public because they have an addiction. It is prejudice.
Many people can be saved and they can contribute and make great changes...
But once you’re stamped as a drug addict you’re like a parasite, and you’re left all alone. No one wants to help you; they just look down at you and call you weak. They say everything is your choice so you live with it. It’s very hard to stop doing the one thing that keeps making you happy; especially when you have 0 support and you’re alone.
No one wants to help people who are addicted to drugs, there’s this unspoken rule to not even look at those people. Just let them die on the street before they rob you, right?
Not everyone chooses to drink or do drugs; some people become addicted through prescriptions. Some people are extremely unhappy and need something to make them handle their thoughts, some people don’t even realise they are developing a problem before it’s too late! It's hard to understand how difficult battling a drug addiction is if you have never had one. It is HARD!! That’s why so many people get lost to it! They need help!
People shouldn't be so quick to abandon someone who is suffering from drug addiction. When these people go out into the world looking for chemicals alone and unsupervised, that is when they commit crimes. These people won’t speak up for themselves (because who would listen to some sob story from a junkie?) and no one wants to be the person to say they want to help that “lazy” junkie, no one speaks up for these people so they barely get any help.
Drug addiction is a huge problem and it is taking many people, sometimes you don’t see it coming. There needs to be more help provided for people who have this problem, TOO MANY PEOPLE ARE BEING LOST TO DRUGS. There should be clinics in certain areas that can provide supervision and shelter for people who are doing drugs on the street, and provide them with sanitized paraphernalia to help with containing diseases.
Most likely you all know someone who is battling addiction, but because of the shame society puts on these people they keep it a secret. Drug addiction needs to be talked about more often, needs to be accepted and addressed. This day and age makes it very easy to provide all sorts of drugs to all sorts of people, especially kids. And the addicts that I have met who suffer the most and have lost nearly or almost everything are the ones who started at a young age 13-16. Just because someone is addicted to drugs doesn’t mean they had a choice or they have no worth , or they can’t be helped. Please be sensitive towards these people.
You seem to get it. Worst of all, if someone manages to actually get their addiction managed on a functional, yet not comletely void of all substance, level, it becomes some kind of crime to manage your own life.
IIN to be fed up with prejudice against alcoholic drug addicts?
