It is really simple... reality isn't what we all want it to be. The world could be such a better place, a place where everyone loves each other, there are no wars, diseases, fighting, or bad things of any kind, a world in which everyone is happy and connected, nobody is isolated or alienated. But instead we don't live in that world. So what do we do? Try to change it? Change takes a very long time, and doesn't ever seem to work. Embrace it? It cannot be done. Escape it? There we go. We cultivate our own realities and be content with that. That is why rehab rarely works. People turn to drugs to cope with the fact reality isn't ideal at all, and there's no real changing it. People then lie to themselves and say if they only didn't have a drug problem they'd be fine and happy. The real situation is that without drugs they'd have to face the fact they are living in a world that is messed up on so many levels, and you simply cannot live in that world without being demented, escaping it, or trying to change it.
Something to consider next time someone says it is you who has the problem, and not society.
