It’s easiest of all to truly have personal accountability.

The thing 40 year old white dudes who got helped out at every step of their lives say, believing it was all their own 'hard work' that got them to a comfy position from which to look down on anyone suffering from mental illness, neurodivergence, addiction, abuse, or exploitation.
How about you be personally accountable for not being an asshole to people who don't deserve it?

Lol. Even in therapy (ya know, helping people) the first step is owning up to who and what you are. Not circlejerking on Reddit. Lo…fucking… L.

you are correct insofar as we must hold ourselves accountable to the decisions we make- even when sometimes the outcome is made for us before we even make the decision. the first step is removing our moral judgments of things and our personal evaluations so we can find the solutions to our problems.
however, you are only here offering judgements, and not solutions. is this really what you want to be spending your time doing?

i'm sorry life has been too difficult for you. i hope you are never dehumanised like this by someone as small and afraid as you.
it's a shame, but you're free to waste your existence however you please.

Anyone can end up poor. Anyone can end up an addict. Even you.
Get off your high horse.

And yet... It could still happen. You're still not immune to it.

I’d be sure not to be a junky though. Even in hard times staying sober isn’t unreasonable ask. You can do as little as possible and be poor but survive. You can be a hard worker and earner and a functioning addict and it may work. Being poor and an addict is digging your own grave. The immortal words of Dean Wormer- “fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son”.

Of course you would. No one ever expects to be an addict. You must have super powers.

Holy shit I’ve had multiple surgeries as recent as last year. It’s really easy to not be a fucking loser and a drain on friends, family and society. Good lord you people are fucking weak. Lol

You people? I'm not an asshole. Compassion and kindness and not being an ass aren't weakness.

Meant the thought that being an addict is out of one’s hands. Its pain management. Not taking what it needs to be numb and pain free. Misuse is entirely on the user. Same with chronic pain. For most it’s paying the piper of not taking care of oneself over a lifetime.
