I never refer to myself or others as junkies or addicts. Accepting the common understanding of the term “junkie” I would not consider it fair to label someone a junkie unless they’re lying and stealing on a daily basis and essentially sacrificing everything for the next fix.
I consider myself a human-being who occasionally took various substances; calling myself a junkie would be selling myself way-short and giving people the wrong impression.
Australian people might be different but in America one of the last things you would want to be called is a junkie. People will dehumanize you, treat you as subhuman.
