> ... And that is what I think people tend to forget - alcoholism and addiction are illnesses, just as much as pneumonia or cancer

...or depression or manic-depression. Are bipolar folks unworthy of compassion, too? They can make relationships very difficult, after all.

> Because after all people don't drink themselves into a stupor or start taking pills for no reason - they are usually suffering inside in some way to make them do it. Oh, I'm not very good at explaining myself, it's just that I feel no matter what your problem is, everyone has a right for help and sympathy. And alcoholics and addicts hurt too.

I think you did a fine job of explaining yourself.
