45. Addiction is a disease
- alcohol or drugs. These guys aren't going out to party at Ash Street or Roseland. They are trying to get by. Treatment programs have been slashed to the bone and even then success rates are about 25% and it rarely takes the first time. Any money that could be used for effective and safe treatment is diverted the false war on drugs. These folks are getting no help and all the liberals on this board are so self-righteous that they won't give a dollar so that someone can have a beer to calm their shaking hands?

No, instead we are sharing panhandling "war stories" like we were at free republic. What the hell has happened to compassion?
