Dying of a Heroin Overdose Does Not Make You a Scumbag
Category: WELLNESS
Overdosing on heroin doesn't make you a scumbag. Having a drink after 20 years of sobriety doesn't make you weak. Having an addiction is not a moral choice.  In fact, I think it is accurate to say that having an addiction is not a choice at all.
