Addictions are horrible things. They destroy lives, families, opportunities for success.
One of the main reasons why it’s so hard to quit an addiction is that no one cares about the withdrawal symptoms.
Your job doesn’t care that you’re vomiting out your guts. Your bills don’t care that you physically can’t work. Your family members (generally) don’t care about the effects of withdrawl.
It’s almost impossible to get clean without a strong support group because even a single missed day of work due to withdrawal symptoms can mean losing everything causing you to want to relapse because “what’s the point?”
How the fuck am I supposed to quit when it results in my family losing everything because I can’t work because I’m too fucking sick or agitated to work?
Here in the good ol US of A drug addiction is seen as a moral and personal failing thus you have to personally suffer immensely and loose your job, also depending on the area you can get arrested and sentenced to prison for drug possession the second you try to get help
