    It is the understanding that you are doing something very destructive that you can not control. Admitting you are not in control often involves surrender to a higher power but it is not a requirement. Keep up the good work and congratulations on being sober.

    Has Chris Rock never seen a broke addict? His brilliant idea of cutting off the work would never have worked for me and it never worked for my brother. Chris did better than ever for 3 years when Lorne Michaels really helped get him clean and got him going with his film career. He stayed clean for something like three years until another film flopped and people stopped hiring him…. did they not know about that or something?

    The winning formula is to trade the really bad drug for something lighter, easier to kick, and keep weening them off. Most people can't quit drugs cold turkey. One of the best ways to kick drugs is to get locked up, if you can be sent to a prison where drugs aren't constantly moving in and out.

    Yesss! People think it’s helping and it’s a heroic tough love, but it causes needless and dangerous suffering. These guys are really buggin’ me. I don’t know any treatment pro’s who would recommend doing that or recommend forcibly taking away someone’s livelihood when it’s clear that this livelihood was what was actually keeping him clean for years and that the brokest of broke people will still find drugs (especially when they can’t get work and feel like their life is over). These dudes are spreading dangerous misinformation pretty carelessly.

But you said you attend a Catholic Church and you don’t get it. I am a.Baptist and I fully understand every service every week. If you’re not growing spiritually then you need to change church. Not disrespecting you just trying to help. God Bless

    Exactly. And Chris did great in the first three years of his film career - and then when people stopped hiring him after a film flopped, he fell off the wagon. Have they never heard of broke addicts? Seems weird that so many people think that would’ve worked, considering it happened and it had the opposite effect.

    The guy in the red shirt was NOT doing the friend a favor. He should have compromised and allowed him to have just one or two pills to take the edge off (allow him to stop crying), instead of 5 or 10 or whatever he would have taken. The withdrawal from opiates is the worst feeling of any drug, you can't just make someone go cold turkey like that

Their care is not caring, it's usually hurtfully enacted, tough love is bullshit too. Most people think that caring is wanting someone to get sober, but they usually don't give a shit how you treat them to actually get there.
