"Addicts will lie, cheat, manipulate, and abuse, whatever, to get their fix."
It's frustrating when it comes to the public costs addicts incur in our health care, criminal justice, and/or child welfare systems, and we have to pay for them.
Moreso, it's heartbreaking when the addict is a loved one of your family and they're robbing you blind to fund their highs, or feeding you the lines of the most ridiculous bullsh*t to explain their behaviors.
Because you get so damned angry. Rightfully so.
And the hurts feel so personally aimed.
But they're not.
