Drug Treatment vs Not Doing Drugs in the First Place?
Question by Ujyathica: Drug Treatment vs Not doing drugs in the first place?
Should somebody who did lots of drugs (coke….) and was an alcoholic who then went and got treatment to become clean be considered a better man (might not be the right phrase) or just better than somebody who never did drugs, and doesn’t drink. Just because the other, went through and over came his/her disorder, instead of avoiding the problem entirely.
Summary of the question. Is it better to learn from others mistakes as the, or is it better to learn from your own mistakes?
It’s confusing, for me because i see all these people being praised for getting treatment for something so stupid like drugs and alcohol. while those who never touch the poison are ignored. IE, a huge presentation at my university about some girl who almost died from alcohol poisoning but then became totally sober, and i couldn’t help but wonder, why aren’t they doing this presentation for somebody who was intelligent enough to not start drinking in the first place?

avoiding the problem. i don’t think that people who don’t do drugs are avoiding a problem. they just aren’t drug addicts.
and no i don’t think you’d be a ‘better’ person.
you’d certainly have some life experience that a person who hadn’t gone through the same thing would never have.
they are not giving her attention because she’s better than somebody. alot of this is trying to make other kids aware of how serious drugs and alcohol can be. because someone has decided not to drink does not mean they are more intelligent. and by “start” drinking what do you mean? you only have to drink one time to get alcohol poisoning. it’s not like you have to be an alcoholic. yes, it is not an intelligent idea to drink and not pay attention to what or how much you’re drinking. but that does not make the person dumb.
it is better if you can to learn from someone elses (well definitely easier) but you will always learn more from yours.
