I never claimed to be a paragon of virtue but outside of traffic tickets I have never been arrested. When you commute 75 miles each way to work for twenty years you tend to pick up tickets. And you know full well by spine I am referring to "Will". Without the will there is no rehabilitation and religion has been a primary support for many addicts, which aids in their quest to rid themselves of addictions and secondarily in so far as it provides them with a moral basis to judge their actions.
For instance, a drunk gets in his car and proceeds to mow down and kill several people. He is morally guilty because he chose to get drunk. Being drunk is neutral, however in that state your physical responses are severely impaired so if you chose to drink and drive the consequences are directly your responsibility. Similarly the damage and destruction you do to others as an addict are morally evil and they stem from your decision to become an addict or to continue as such.
Go back and reread what you wrote, I indicated that it was confused but you said that you cried until you got the music lessons that you wanted and that your sister resented the preferential treatment you got. I have only your words to extract some idea of your traits, I cannot read your mind.
No one is speaking of punishments or severity of punishments, we are discussing the nature of the beast. The author believes his experience shows that nurturing prevents or cures addiction and I and others can tell you that is a crock. It may work in a few cases but the vast majority are recidivists and yes most of those who successfully kick their addiction do so with the aid of religion.
My wife spent most of her working career as a Master Teacher in Rehab facilities, teaching adults and abused children, addicted children, mentally ill children and special needs children; the horror stories of these poor souls lives, despite wholesome home environments, in many cases, was almost unbelievable. There is no simple panacea for addicts.
My son has held many executive positions in the restaurant industry and addiction was a major problem. Everything from bad attendance, bad work, slovenly indifference and outright theft to support their habits. He found it necessary, when he suspected drug usage, to find a reason to let the person go because if they went to the industrial relation arbiters he would be stuck with carrying a drone who sabotaged every activity he was assigned. There was never a case of the individual going to rehab and coming back without the same problems.
Ultimately, if you were not accidentally addicted through medical procedures then you chose to become an addict. Ignorance is no excuse, it is a moral evil whose effects are widely known and once you determined to use the drugs, the consequences are yours.

Ive read some it ill have to finish ot later but so far its true they have been saving we are powerless to the drug and thats simply not true.
You can make the choice not to use but you have to want to. I heard one time "When the pain of where u r exceeds the joy of where you wanna be its time to make a change" and it starts in you. You can move run try to hide but you will find it if you want it what whatever drug it is. I left Florida went to Maine bc i shot up 4 the 1st time well it just got worse. You have to want to within yourself. Addiction is not prejudice. Like the article stated there r no chemicals in gambling. Addiction is in your mind. Physical addiction to drugs is 3 to 5 days after that its in your head.
