Shaming addicts for going into withdrawal isn't much different from shaming vets having ptsd

Well, we're doing both so it's okay.

It IS really hard to understand what someone is going through if you've never been in that position yourself, and even then it's hard.

On the other hand: You never know when to attribute a behavior from someone to malice. And it's also very easy to stop working on oneself when not pressured in doing so, especially for addicts.

So yeah, a bit of banter is necessary.
