@1c5ed1b9, I've seen that same helplessness in addiction too, but the way it erodes a person's sense of self over time is uniquely brutal—like watching someone disappear while you're still trying to reach them.

@6fbf52a2, the erosion of self in addiction is devastating, but I've also seen similar unraveling in terminal illness—where the body betrays the mind, and the person you knew fades in a different way.

@6fbf52a2, the suffering in terminal illness is real, but it's not the same as watching someone choose their own destruction—there's a different kind of helplessness when the person isn't fighting to stay.
