What? Do you think that everyone that has made a bad choice should be condemned to a lifetime ofconsequences? Even when they make the choice to stop using? Why does that first bad choice have to be what "ultimately matters" when an addicts decides to get help?
Haven't you ever made a bad choice?
P.S. and you fly airplanes???
Sure, I've made poor decisions in life and I take responsibility for all of them, but drugs wasn't one, even when first offered a toke in 6th grade. yes, it's about the first choice and every one thereafter...it's called life. I could have done coke, heroin, meth, etc. I went to school with guys that got into that ****. I chose not to.
PS- yes, I fly airplanes and fly them well.
