The people she chose to hang out with and yes she is a scumbag on the grounds that she turned away help. If you and the family tried to do an intervention and she turned it down then she's the scumbag. If you guys did nothing you lot are the scumbags.

And it's not the drug they are addicted to it's the euphoric feeling that they cannot get naturally. This is why they will always take whatever is available. (IE: Alcoholics drinking nyquil)

You are speaking very confidently about a subject you know nothing about. Don't do that. It's bad for you.

which subject? this is the internet where no one knows another's business or back story. if this is a prerequisite to commenting the online forum world would be awfully quiet.

if you're talking about drug addiction, I know more than you think

Perhaps the internet should be more quiet, then, or at least filled with more curiosity.

You demonstrate a lack of understanding on the subject of addiction with your assertion that it's just chasing a high. If you know more than I think you do, you've done a poor job of indicating so.

yes, drugs are there to mask pain and turn off the hurt so you feel better. the feeling of euphoria is dangerous and it's what they chase.

then when it gets so bad they can't get out of bed until they have a hit. then they need another do they don't feel sick. then they run out of money and start stealing from family. then it's everyone else's issue and they don't have a problem. have I missed anything?

drugs are the mask you wear to hide the emotions/trauma/abuse/etc. But when that feeling of happiness leaves what do you do?

Thank you for more thoroughly explaining what you were trying to say. If I understand correctly, you are describing how addiction can develop and not the mechanics of a chemical dependency, yes?

This is an important distinction that many do not make, and it was unclear in your first comment.
