"Lost" to drug addiction?  Hmmmm....."Lost?"  Are you sure about that? Because the likely bad outcome of traveling the hardcore-drug-highway is hardly secret any more when it comes to IV drug use, opiates, etc.  First we tell people that it's the fault of everyone and everything around them that their substance abuse "happended,", fill their minds with the idea that they're powerless and innocent to the choices that they freely make...and then act surprised when abuse/dependency/death/sorrow skyrocket? Really? Is that the best we can do, people? Validate and enable, then act surprised or feign disappointment? Sad how our culture has lost its way, made victims of everyone and empowered no one. How about we try something else---the "disease" and "society did this to me" approach clearly hasn't worked in the 50+ years since we started entertaining such well-intentioned but ultimately disastrous attitudes.
