This might be unpopular, but I say fuck the sugarfags and the junkiefags.
Pay for your own life saving medicine or start looking hard at the alternatives. This is true whether you're claiming to need a heart valve, some methodone or a prosthetic cock to make your live more complete. I really don't give a fuck I'm not interested in how unfair your particular situation is and how we need to band together and fucking help you figure it out.
Miraculously this help ALWAYS comes in the form of a check from the tax payers ending up in the hands of some large, already well-funded institution and subsidizing your lifestyle choices at the expense of others.
I used to have a very bad drinking problem. Withdraw from booze can kill you. I dealt with it, paid for my problem... a few times. I never hurt anybody but hospital stays ain't cheap.
I paid for it, sure I had help from my folks but they got paid back. I have sympathy for very few. If you're a soldier, yes you have my sympathy but other than that... I don't know.
The booze thing is true but you can also taper off over the course of a week or two if you have some supervision and/or discipline. In my experience so-called hard drinkers are addicted to the sauce for sure but a large part of them is also addicted to being a drunken mess.
You have to buy into being psychologically addicted to alcohol at some point as a lifestyle choice before you reach the point of physical addiction. I don't think you can get to that point without some level of commitment and conscious buy in it's not like opiates. Even with those I'd argue you make a conscious decision to accept psychological dependence because some level of abuse or misuse generally has to take place it's not totally accidental.
Maybe I'm over generalizing here but this always seems to be the case.
I've done the taper thing. It still sucks but less. It is also psychological.
I know even smoking to me is part psychological. It's five minutes to get away from people, five minutes to relax. I can go days without smoking but some times it is just nice to have a "reason" to go sit outside and relax, look at the stars. (excuses)

You are not wrong.
