I’m open about my past Heroin addiction on here, and get a tonne of emails from other HNers. Anecdotally I’ve no idea whether it’s more than should be expected, but a lot of people on here suffer the way I suffered, so it’s definitely an undercurrent at least.
- tachyonbeam 6y agoFor sure it's more common than people think. I think it's good to de-stigmatize both mental health and addiction. IMO shame gets in the way of people asking for help.
- ddingus 6y agoFear, blame and shame do a lot of harm. Amplify the good. People sometimes need help. Can be any of us. Best to just get them that help, in my view.
