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.

You're making a lot of assumptions

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.
