Sure yeah. Just understand that I'm coming from a mindset of having to learn what addiction was at a very young age. I probably saw my brother go through every stage an addict goes through. Multiple times.
I mean, he plead guilty to a felony due partly to him being an addict. And thats not the only charge. I get it. He has to stop on his own. Doesn't make it any less offensive when someone else says "what's so hard about it?" I know you meant no harm but it's ****ing hard. I could tell that just by watching my brother constantly go through it.
