I'm pondering a move, and I'm interested in what things people like and what factors y'all consider important.

My junkie eldest brother spent many a night sleeping on my couch, I know how it goes.

    My two junkie best friends of over 30+ years offed themselves via the needle.

    I have zero sympathy for them. This is a chosen path. No ignorance to claim, no fault but their own. I know people have some weird soft-spot for them, but I can tell you from witnessing it myself- they won’t ever even try to help themselves as long they are coddled by everyone.

    Have you ever tried not to have a mental illness? It’s kind of the same deal. Addiction is an illness, not a failure of willpower. Resentment is understandable I guess, it truly is fatiguing to try and help someone who isn’t ready. But I really don’t think “it’s a chosen path”.

    Ok? Why are you acting like I'm sympathizing with them? Just because my brother is one doesn't mean I don't hate them.
