I can be dismissive of others problems if I like whether I am a recovering alcoholic or not and you have that very same right too as does everyone. They are their issues to own, not mine just like I don't make my issue anyone else's problem. I am in control of my own choices and respond to each and every factor in a manner I choose. I can choose to tell you to FU or I can choose to smile and ignore. The end of the day its about choices and those choices are made by me which I am in control of, I am responsible for, and I own. I can choose to wake up tomorrow and get drunk. That's my choice. I can choose to say no. That too is my choice but I am responsible for each and every decision I make in respect of that - no one else.
I was not addressing others in this forum or the pressures they face nor was I assuming for one second I was alone in it. They also own their business and deal with it too hence why you largely do not hear about their issues. You are making far too many assumptions but then you are well past that stage.
As for owning their own shit in the last comment, that was a comment in general and not directed at Jackson.
In the end Leggy said: "As sad as it might be, people make their own decision in life. If Jackson was into drugs and booze then that was his choice. Most people have to cope without these two products and I don't have a lot of sympathy." and I responded with "I have to agree with you Leggy. Own your choices." You have taken this and blown it way out of proportion so I stand by my original position of pull your head in.
