Simply put, Sheff is out to convince many more of us that, as he writes, using drugs is not about willpower or character. Most problematic drug use is related to stress, trauma, genetic predisposition, mild or serious , use at an early age, or some combination of those. So how do we move away from the stigma of addiction, and from the idea that if addicts just tried hard enough, or were made of stronger stuff, they could conquer their addiction?
Before I was immersed in this world I had many of the same prejudices, especially about addiction, said Sheff in an interview with TakePart. We know that no one forces someone to take drugsmy son was lying to me, breaking into our house, doing unconscionable things. It appears to be a choice, and we judge it and people who become addicted.
But Sheffs deep immersion in the scientific research around addiction completely changed his point of view. I came to understand that there is no argument about the fact that addiction is a brain disease, he says plainly. So when you understand that these people arent making a choiceno one chooses to be illobviously it is a choice at first, but most people do that and go forward with their lives and use moderately, but certain people are addicted. So people have this illness; and when you understand that, all of a sudden the blaming stops and you shift so that these people are seen as sick. So instead of anger and blame we can feel compassion. That to me is huge.
