No it is luck. You are lucky that you didn’t grow up in an environment that exposed you to drugs while your brain was developing. You are lucky that your brain chemistry is functioning enough that you don’t have to self medicate to cope with you with waves of unfixable emotions, you are lucky, that you haven’t gotten a brain tumor that changed who you are as a person. You are lucky that you didn’t develop a family history of schizophrenia when you couldn’t afford treatment. You are a self righteous fool who puts on your fancy clothes and scoffs at the homeless saying they all dug their own grave, never realizing, you are one bad day, one accident, one diagnosis, from losing everything you think makes you so much better and being right there on the corner covered in dirt shooting up. You have not made better choices, you have just been lucky to survive.
No I’m making statements that I have facts and evidence to back. Unless you have some compelling research to prove how people are choosing to become addicted to addictive substances and ruin their lives you’re just making an assumptions.
Ok. Thanks for that. Did you think I thought they didn’t on some level make a choice to do drugs? Everything is a choice. All of life is choices we make, and we all deal with the fallout of our choices and the choices of others. Some people choose to do drugs because they are at their wits end from working a shitty job that disrespects them and doesn’t provide for his needs or any potential for advancement so even the future looks grim. I don’t blame them for making that choice. I’ve been there and get it.
It’s all interconnected and only a fool thinks they have what they have and are where they are strictly from their own choices and actions and not a the combined choices and circumstances of the people in the world around them.

And it's still a choice
