Sometimes people with addictions need a little tough love like that.
Why do people do this? Is it just easier than the more difficult solution of giving someone a sense of connection and a sense of being seen…?
Fuck… If you’ve ever spent time with a population of addicts, you know they are the toughest people on themselves. They know they are going to die. And they know that everything they’ve tried failed to change that course. If you’ve ever met those people, which are most addicts own their addiction, you know that this is just another drop in the shame bucket.
If you can’t sit with how off base your comment was, you need to really look you at yourself in the mirror.
