lol at reading this post. Most of ya aint got a clue wots its like when u fall down and keep falling. U have to reach bottom to come back up and sadly for some they dont. But dont judge coz u dont know why they are reaching for something extra.
To be fair, I think Pete would have a point if there was a straight correlation along the lines of take drugs get addicted, but there isn’t. No more than it’s true everyone who has a beer becomes an alcoholic. It’s just dumb situation and hard luck that might lead you to some unintended and hairy consequences in each case. Therefore, people who find themselves in that situation deserve a bit of sympathy. In any case, when did a bit of common human empathy and understanding ever do any harm?
Also, what Pete says is true. Cigarettes are more addictive than a lot of other drugs. People who try them are more likely to become addicted than for other typical substance x. That, however, is not the same as holding that they are more difficult, once physically addicted, to give up than other substances. I seriously doubt, for example, that Pete was confined to bed with cramps and hallucinations while trying to do without his breakfast Rothmans.

Oh, yes I do. I know only too well what it’s like to have your entire life turned on its head knowing that there’s nothing you can do but make the most of it. And also knowing that it’s never gonna be the same again.
most peeps that drink or take drugs have something to hide or something they are afraid of. Not people that drink socially but people that drink to sleep at night etc. I know people like that and it is not wot u think pete. People actually hurt inside and this is an escape. Its not right fgs but some peeps need a bit more help then others.
we all have different coping mechanisms. Some people infact most at some point have their lives turn on their heads (as john said), but thankfully dont turn to substances as a comfort.
Then there are others who for no other reason than curiosity, or to please a crowd will try something and start down the rocky road to decline that way.
We are all different, and need to respect that.
Tolerance and compassion innit, and a better support system for those so that when they choose to seek help it is there long term.
Far too many re-habs are underfunded and people are left with no aftercare or support network. So starts the vicious cycle again.
I do know plenty of herion addicts, some with support and some without. You could not draw any comparisons between them, upbringing or otherwise… only the love of the drug.
I am not one to be pugnacious when it comes to this kind of topic. It’s serious and all I say is be sympathetic.
Narrow minded bigots are not people I can understand, so please don’t try to make me.
JB, I said that Amy Winehouse isn’t to everyones taste but you can’t say she hasn’t got talent. If that is me not taking other peoples opinions into concideration I don’t know what is. :roll:
