Far fewer people feel sorry for fatties and their self inflicted diseases than they do for alcoholics and drug addicts. I guess.
I have sympathy for everyone dealing with struggles. But my patience wears thin when people continuously fuck up time and again and don’t accept responsibility for it.
I think it’s 💯 possible to eat better, exercise, stop smoking, and stop drinking and stop using drugs. People do it every day.
Sobriety is hard. But most of us don’t completely blow up our shit routinely every year.
I pray for those people, but it’s ok and totally acceptable and understandable to get frustrated and to lose sympathy for people who cannot get out of their own way, routinely.
I never thought I would see Robert Downey Jr survive where he was in the 90’s. But he has. And I will always try to be there for people and care for them and love them: but if someone is hell bent on destroying themselves sometimes it’s best to get out of their way. Lots of damage can be done and many addicts are very selfish to a degree. most of us committed to sobriety have our struggles. We fight hard, But most of us don’t fucking implode routinely. And leave a massive mess in our wake. On the regular. It is hard to endorse that kind of behavior even if I understand it. And it’s totally ok to be pissed, frustrated and at wit’s end of people who routinely don’t avail themselves of the resources at their disposal and choose the shit path every fucking time.
