I know technically you’re right. But if you managed to come out the other end, as in, kick the addiction… Mentally the experience would probably toughen you up.
I know one person that managed to kick heroin about 10 years ago now. They are one of the most head strong people I know now, with an enormous amount of drive to continuously improve their own life (they have since started a family, got a career, and just purchased a home recently).
In their case, I would definitely say ‘what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger’ holds true
I’ve always gone with “whatever doesn’t kill you makes you weaker and easier for the next thing to kill”
Like forget heroin, have they heard of polio?
After my double arm amputation I developed incredibly strong telekinetic powers to compensate… ymmv ofc
I know it is patently untrue. My uncle died doing steroids.
I have done heroin and I always thought that saying was dumb. Later I’d tell the kids I mentored in a drugs and alcohol program that what doesn’t kill you will likely leave you scarred, weaker, and/or in pain for the rest of your life.
I’m a big fan of try anything once though, probably how I got addicted to drugs in the first place. Not like ANYTHING, but like anything fun that isn’t fatal most of the time.
You either die from it or find the strength to overcome the addiction? Staying clean from heroin does require a lot of it
Dude. Can you fight dragons without heroin? I think not.
Heroin kills you, though.
How about Alzheimer’s?
you can’t survive it tho-
you can for a while
That’s a disease not a choice…I welcome the downvotes lmao
In modern medicine, drug abuse is considered a medical issue, not a choice or personality flaw. It’s called substance abuse disorder.
