We are responsible for the choices we make, regardless of whether we are under the influence (as an addicted person or just a one night warrior) or not. And FULLY accountable for the ramifications of same. Unquestionably.I think you’re missing the point entirely here
If this player has a substance abuse issue, it’s his own fault for developing that issue. There was a time when he wasn’t abusing substances, and then he decided to start. It is very simple, I don’t know why you’re trying to complicate it for no reason.
If you can’t explain something in a simple way, I’d say you’re the one who doesn’t really understand it
Look man, I just expect people to take some personal responsibility. I’m not talking down to you
I don’t agree with this “it’s not my fault” attitude about things.
However you clearly don’t understand alcoholism or addiction. You seem to think addiction is a choice. I suggest some humility. Next time you have a beer, have a little gratitude and thank whatever it is that allows you to have just one or none at all.
Not sure what your background i. As someone who has 25 years of sobriety I can speak from some experience.
Trying to show some empathy for the affliction (NOT to impacts or ramifications of same) would be the kind thing to do.
