There’s so many reasons people become addicts. I live in a small town where I get to see how it effects everyone. That said it has a tendency to grab hold of those without any advantages. People work really hard to get out of the life style of addiction. Constantly coming up against hardships others don’t have. Lack of employment, housing, and support. Not to mention the mental health issues. I think if people understand the plight of an addict they might help more. I work in recovery and don’t see a cure in sight, but hopefully we can learn to not be judgmental and help those who are suffering.
