“Addiction is a disease. There is no cure. You can't beat it. An addict will always struggle with it. It's like lupus or MS. You just learn how to deal with it. Manage it without feeding it. Don't come to me and tell me addicts are weak. Recovering addicts are the strongest people you will ever meet. They are strong because they know the only way out of their addiction is death. They know this and yet they continue to fight for their sobriety. They fight to regain all the things they lost in active addiction. They fight EVERY SINGLE DAY to be better than they were the day before. And they will fight every day for rest of their life. Don't tell me I'm weak because l'm an addict. How many other people can say they survived walking through misery and have the scars to prove it?”

Agreed. I’ve been in the field for about 7/8 years now. A lot of strong individuals.
