I wouldnt call it ignorance, just my opinion that differs from yours. Why should I pay for someone to keep abusing their body asking for help, abusing their body, asking for help, how long do you let it go on?
Alcoholics that get new livers or have medical treatment then are in the pub the next day. Why waste money on saving/helping people that aren't prepared to help themselves?
I've taken drugs, lots of drugs in fact. i was using Cocaine every day for about 6 months. I realised what I was doing to myself and I stopped.
I understand some people may find it harder to stop than others but getting help and then just going back to your old ways is just a waste of peoples time and money.
