There's a saying for an alcoholic one is too many and a 1000 isn't enough .when you have the disease, you are powerless. People don't understand this and think it's a lack of Will or discipline. Most people do not understand addiction.

I don't believe in a moderation model. Addicts cannot moderate. They are powerless once the disease is activated, they crave, fiend, and desire more. Find an addict who says enough is enough.

I realize what you are thinking about as well intended. Don't take this the wrong way, it's just naïve. You're gonna make fun of me because I work with addicts and you're gonna say what don't you do whatever
