Please if you do not know addiction, don’t do it. You make it harder for us who do. You have less tolerance for someone struggling, because you do not understand where they are coming from or have been. I work with nurses who have no clue what the mentality of our patients have. They scream, cry, and cuss you out, but most of the time it’s not you but their situation and their frustration. They don’t want to be an addict. But for whatever reason here they are. But if you truly what to understand addiction go to some open AA ,NA or CA meetings and listen to their stories. If you then have compassion for them , then try it. It’s not a job for someone who doesn’t understand substance use disorder. JMO
