Benya--great stuff as usual. As a chronically ill person in addition to being a survivor of an aggressive cancer, I get silly phrases all the time. "It all depends on your attitude from here on." "At least you can still walk" ( in reference to my arthritis). And many more jewels. People are not comfortable with others being sick when there is no easy cure. They fundamentally do not accept that such a thing could happen. Thus the dumb phrases. I have not suffered an addiction but had many such individuals as patients. Your work definitely would resonate with them. Keep it coming.
