A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Any time you struggle with a bad habit, addiction, or compulsion you don't have under control.
Not only that - I would even go so far as saying that these are examples where OP's statement is even MORE fitting than someone who "does not do it" anyway. A junkie warning younger generations about the dangers of drug abuse - someone who experienced all the effects firsthand and is struggling to quit - is a lot more convincing than someone who knows the word "drug" only from a dictionary.
This is honestly really fitting since I used to be homeless and addicted. Used to be. :)
Glad it’s “used to.” Keep safe!
I'm happy to see that "used to be" in your sentence ;) either one is already hard to overcome on its own, but both at the same time ...much respect.
Good point!
