Question by .02 REMAINS: How applicable an argument is the “freedom to choose” to use a substance if the substance is addictive?
To expand on my point, an addictive substance removes the user’s freedom to choose not to use it.

Is it more applicable to describe a “freedom to use, not to abuse” policy towards addictive substances?

At what point does use turn into abuse? To ask another way, at what point does the freedom to choose to use (or not use) no longer exist?

Specifically, I am thinking about alcohol and tobacco, but you may use other examples in your response as well.

Answer by little78lucky
If it is known the said substance is additive and the person still “choose” to use it once knowing they get addicted then any result is their own fault.

Question by Love: Was marriage counseling a mistake??? Or should i have just left him for good? He wanted marriage counseling…?
I don’t know what to do. We have only been together for a year and a half and we have so many problems. I love my husband but slowly i am losing my love for him.

I have found out either by confession or admitting, about all of these things since we’ve been together and i am drained of energy because he is always causing stress in our marriage and im sick of it.
I’m 21 and he is 30.

*I found out that he had a drug problem. He hid it for a year and i had no idea. He was buying drugs from an 18 year old girl and doing about 20 vicodin pills a day. I told him if he didn’t stop i would leave him, so he stopped, no questions asked.
