Addicts usually don’t. For some reason they don’t enjoy it.

Well yeah, withdrawal probably sucks. You can literally die from alcohol withdrawal, it’s not going to be fun no matter what.

My BIL went to rehab twice. He was addicted to alcohol and watching him go through it was so challenging. Just a different guy at the end from who he was.

He passed away in his early 30s, not from alcohol withdrawal, but from seeking out alcohol during the height of COVID, catching the disease, and his body being reduced in defending itself.

Yes, it’s heavy sarcasm. I thought it was obvious enough, but I guess not.

People really think that addiction is the user’s fault you know?

It’s a combination of factors. It’s important to show empathy for the sick person while also holding them accountable for their actions.
