Safety is a top priority here, too. Are you referring to:

That wasn't the best word to have used, but it's possible the idea wasn't to criticize specifically your writing, but generally the dramatization or romanticization of addiction. Maybe you'd both agree that the latter can be counterproductive?
(Also, it seems like there was some misunderstanding about where your subject line came from.)
