    I don’t see addiction as a moral failing; it’s a disease. That’s why I am strongly in favor of robust social programs to treat mental health and addiction. All health care should be socialized in my opinion, but that’s a discussion for another day.

    My problem is with people who are continually offered help yet choose not to accept it. I have seen it happen to people I know on more than one occasion. If rehab and sober living facilities are available, but someone makes the choice to continue their lifestyle of addiction or alcoholism, I have absolutely no sympathy for them.

    Society should provide the resources for people to succeed in life. If they choose not to take advantage of them, that’s their problem, not mine.
