as FNM has already stated, no-one actually chooses to go down the path of self destruction.
And they're not born with it.
Without going into it, my problems started from a traumatic event
But you don't even realise it until you self-destruct
Even the depression is not apparent until you have a breakdown and you really need help
I didn't choose to self-destruct - it chose me
But you realise after you do go through all that, and you talk about it, you're far from alone.
There are so many people in society with similar problems
So many of my friends who I've confided in have had exactly the same problems
You can look at people in Haiti and count your blessings we have what we have, but there's a lot of people doing in tough at the moment, gamblers, addicts of one kind or another. Sure they chose to do these things, but they didn't choose to destroy their lives. If it wasn't such a money earner for governments, like the alcohol industry, you wouuld be damn sure both those industries would be abolished if governments were prepared to get serious
