I was a heroin addict, and knew many "high functioning" addicts who did not rob/lie/manipulate. I also knew many who did. I think it's important to have empathy for all people, as opposed to passing self righteous judgement. Everyone has a place in society...even junkies. Put someone who has used IV drugs in the red cross, and I guarantee they will be able to find a vein in record time.

huh? if you had the chance and opportunities isn't there anything else you would rather be doing then getting your self high? you live for drugs and nothing else and your happy with that? not that theres anything wrong wit that![:\](https://bluelight.org/xf/BL_Images/Orig_Emoji/wrygrin.gif "wry grin :\")
Hey that's me..
I have to say that I feel quite ashamed for that thread and take some things I said back (doesn't happen too often on the all anonymous internet heh, or it does and I'm just trying to get back some cheap symapthy hah).
I was in some kind of unexpected rage and had to ventilate somewhere when I wrote that post, I don't really take drugs anymore much so it wasn't due to some comedown or phychosis or anything, it was just some kind of deep hidden rage I sometimes need to get out of myself. If I don't do it physically, words can help too.
I agree that I'm often too quick with judging people's characters, as I said I'm just 23year old boy/man who only recently started living on his own so what the fuck do I know about people...
But I still do stand for the "core" of the message that we should all feel responsible for what we do and never blame anything/anyone else.
And I repeat for the 3rd time I try not to judge people based on what drug and in what amounts they take it, however if you have an old friend who just recently started smoking meth its good to be cautious because once he decides to do something wrong it may be late...huh? if you had the chance and opportunities isn't there anything else you would rather be doing then getting your self high? you live for drugs and nothing else and your happy with that? not that theres anything wrong wit that
What I'm 9 days clean. I was just saying....

Not much. You hold drug addicts to such a high standard of judgement, yet you yourself are trying to make yourself look better here by blaming your actions on "deep hidden, unexpected rage"? Do you see the flaw in your logic? You're actually still really judgmental but you want others to empathize or sympathize for you and your anger issues? For example, read the next part of your post, it's BS.
You say you're all about people being responsible for their actions, and that you try not to judge people by what drug they use, yet you're being a hypocrite by the end of the sentence.6apbhmm said:

i was having a go at society in general, not you in particular kayla! the huh? was because i couldn't really read your post, a little incoherent. i was a MDMA and ice freak for a while, until i got myself some help and moved city.
jones...whatever dude! have you even read the thread? sounds like your the one that wants to get on her back...
i guess I'm saying its fucked in this day and age we still have so many people hopelessly addicted...shouldnt society be getting better...im not sure that i will be able to tell my kids that society now is better than when i grew up...i would like to leave the world in a better place then when i entered it, doesn't seem to me thats happening.
tricomb i know your dying to have a go, thats cool, everyone on here gets it slung at them at some point in time, I'm sure my time will come...i have been an addict and i currently live with addicts so i really don't see how its the tea pot calling the kettle black??? please do enlighten me though
i got no problems with addicts, i got a problem with society that lets some have unimaginable wealth while there are so many homeless / sick / addicted getting zero help and being continually taxed
not picking an argument with anyone in particular but if your gonna post shit explain yourself
kayla and jones, sincerely all the best in staying clean
peace
Well I am glad you explained because to everyone it looked like you were trying to argue lol it's cool. Also my post ha quit a few typos from y stupid iPhone Siri doesn't fix shit right loli was having a go at society in general, not you in particular kayla! the huh? was because i couldn't really read your post, a little incoherent. i was a MDMA and ice freak for a while, until i got myself some help and moved city.

Also it was supposed I say i don't feel physically or psychology great until I'm high, I mean I feel alright but I like to enhance with drugs....
But it's no way to live, I however do not think society or people or aliens have to right to judge anyone. Addict or not people don't need to be in categories or judged its just wrong and I love people and I like interaction and seeing how different people are, if you an addict or not I think people are interesting. All people have faults I look past them unless you treat me like shit. You coul be a hobo and I'll sit an have a conversation with you

Agreed
i just want the best for EVERYONE...perhaps I'm just a dreamer...i don't see why we have hobos in our western countries...that is unless a person wants to be a hobo, then i completely understand, nothing wrong with travelling and sleeping under the stars. have you read 'lonesome traveller' by kerouac? but it does distress me the amount of mentally ill homeless there are in the states as well as here in australia!
