Heroin is more readily available today the ever before.
It's there and in a moment of weekness, the week can succumb to only one quick taste... It's all it takes
Aftet a long slide into other drug use. No kid wakes up one morning and says "Let me tey drugs. Oh heroin is readily available let me stick a needle in me."

Everything is a joke or a punchline to you.

I regret you took it that way.

You are looking at them as defects in a person. Thats not what i mean. They may be environmental defects that affected a person and 12 steps will help with those in conjunction with therapy and sometimes even meds.

No I'm not. You're the one who used the word character flaws. Since when are environmental defects character flaws?

Addictive behaviors compound to and cause character flaws (e.g. flaky, unreliable, isolating, lying etc.), but I don't think it's usually character flaws that lead to addiction.

Lets try this again. Character defects are within every person. We are born perfect and somewhere along the way we develop attributes and defects. When faced with environmental issues, e.g. trauma, the coping mechanism in addicts is to drown the pain of the trauma in the addiction.
Low self esteem is a character defect. The coping mechanism is again to drown the feelings of worthlessness in the addiction. The 12 steps give one a mechanism to build character. To change the way they cope with issues.

Someone with low-self-esteem is a deeply flawed individual (your original statement that I objected to), let me go on the record saying that I'm personally offended :D

Maybe you need a 12 step program to help you with that.  Yes self esteem is a product of being told you're not good enough. It can be worked on and changed. It is a very deep character defect.

What about being an argumentative contrarian on online forums. Is that a character flaw?

Deeply flawed individual who needs a 12-step program.  Totally.

...or more commonly (from a theoretical standpoint, anyway), telling yourself you aren't good enough (for a variety of reasons).
