I totally agree with you aside from “she’s recovered”. As far as I understand, an addict is always “in recovery” and it’s a lifelong deal. Doesn’t matter if it’s 10,20,40 years down the line, sometimes addicts turn back to drugs no matter how much time has passed.

But I was pleasantly surprised with her growth and she seems to be doing well! I never understood people who view prior addicts in a negative light. They are stronger than most people because it’s a mental battle like no other and have been through way more shit in life to end up resorting to doing drugs.

What a nasty comment above. I worked with homeless and foster kids. Guess what- half of them ended up on drugs for the horrific shit they witnessed or experienced and the drugs were the only way to block out the memories of getting raped by grandpa for 3 years starting at 5 years old. It’s such a fucked up mindset. No one willingly decides to throw their life into the toilet and to judge that is awful.
