When I would take clients to a smoking cessation therapist, one fact that she would cite was the fact that quitting cigarettes is more difficult than quitting heroin.
I would also be told anecdotally by many of my clients that it was harder to quit than other hard drugs like meth and one person even said crack.
It can certainly be broken, but addiction is a disease and your comment could come off as condescendingly minimizing an incredibly difficult task.
I posted 4 words.
Yes, I can count...
Someone voiced struggling with addiction and your overly simplistic response could easily be interpreted negatively in a demeaning way.
Can you see how that is not very helpful and potentially demeaning? How someone can feel that trivializes their struggle?
If you had stated something like "Addiction is so difficult, but it can be broken. Don't give up hope." That is totally different.
You're just making shit up.
What are you even talking about? Making what up?
Are you confused by my analogy I put in quotes?
I said four words.
Man.. I'm having deja vu...
Is that the voices in your head making up more words I didn't say?
Haha, you're either trolling or can't comprehend use of an analogy. I hope for your sake that you're trolling me.
My policy is not to feed trolls, so I'm not going to keep fueling this. This obviously isn't going anywhere anyway, seeing as how you're arguing in a circle.
Feel free to get the last word in and feel like you "won" an argument or whatever you think.
