I'm all for helping anyone on hard times but freeloaders alcoholics and drug addicts get no sympathy from me. They have chosen their way of life. Also very sick of hearing drug addiction called a "disease". Cancer is a disease,you have a choice before you stick a needle in your arm
Must be a beautiful view from up there on your high horse.

I pray you never lose a family member or friend to addiction—I've lost students, young teens, who never had a chance. It's heartbreaking to see the effect of drugs, gambling, and alcohol on family and social systems.

And what about all those people who were prescribed opioids for pain management and then were instantly hooked? High-performance athletes who had no idea what they were getting into, roofers who otherwise wouldn't have been able to work, etc.

There's a reason why Purdue and the Sacklers were held liable for their role in the opioid crisis.
