A second chance can come at anytime, anywhere. Put some value on human life please. Recognize that statistically, the face of addiction is rapidly changing and you will see that face looking back from within the ranks of your own family. Then, your pontification won't sound so appealing since the nameless, faceless junkie deserving no sympathy will have a face, and a name. I seriously hope there's an easier way for you to embrace empathy than to live such a sad story.
