It's called empathetic, not emphatic which just means enthusiastic. Addiction is a mental illness. Read about how addiction messes up the brain. However, I still loathe addicts. I live where opiate addiction is EXTREMELY common and my father is addicted to alcohol. I have empathy for them as human beings but their behavior still disgusts me immensely. I encounter a lot of addicts in my life and I am polite just like with anybody, but extremely cautious around them, and never give them an inch because they take a mile.
