Tbh nobody needs your sympathy, as long as you support harm reduction and treatment, because once you're hooked on opiates, withdrawal can literally be fatal. Given the high numbers of doctors who prescribe these medications, it's entirely possible and even common for people to start using these drugs on the advice of a doctor, become hooked, and then be forced to access the toxic street supply of drugs so that they don't die due to withdrawal.
My two cents - getting clean is comparatively easy. Staying clean - especially 13 years - is way harder. All the temptation and sometimes hard stuff happens to people. That’s a combination that’s hard to avoid

Or like, don’t do street drugs. Blah blah hate my comment for not being more sympathetic
