tbh as someone who beat addiction, i wouldnt have been able to do it without being a leech for a little while.
it is possible to get so bad where your too sick to function or work, but WANT to stop. in which case you really gotta have free living for awhile to do it while your deathly ill and healing up.
its true only the person can choose to stop and quit themselves -- willpower is real (the rehab system is lies and shit -- you CAN have responsibility and choose to stop on your own and live a normal life you arent some victim of anything but yourself)
but its tough on surviving when your literally non-functional without drugs.
the sad reality of drug addiction is, when your physically hooked you arent using to get high all the time anymore. you wake up in horrific pain and illness like you got cancer and the flu, sometimes for months. the only way to make yourself functional in society for a day is to use -- which just gets you normal, not high.
its a real tragedy. Im only telling you so you got some info on helping people quit.
i managed to help someone else quit too at this point. by my own method not the one presented in rehab, which works. its to self-taper on non-approved stuff and take personal fucking responsibility then actually stop and DEAL WITH THE PAIN.
but dealing with the pain is the tough part. we can debate on me reading studies and being my own doctor if you want, but fact of the matter is I got 8 years behind me now. clearly it worked for me. and the friend I mentioned too.
