I'll advocate for anybody for as long as I can until I can't. I think to add to that too, the idea of this illusion of it being a moral choice, you know, I think with progressive diseases like addiction, the element of choice leaves early like yes you absolutely had a choice at 16 years old whether to go to that party or not yes at maybe at 17 you had a choice as to whether to take that drink or not or you know but once you get into physical dependence and psychological dependence can be just as bad and your body has adapted, right? And it isn't because you don't love Jesus and it isn't because you're not praying enough and it isn't because you've decided to be a heathen.
