about a year and a half of active substance use. I could not be more glad to hear that she is doing well. Point being, people with substance use disorder could use compassion instead of judgment. That's hard when it's someone close to us (two in my family) but having a disorder doesn't make someone

inherently bad person. And the more we judge, the harder it becomes for someone to want to treat their illness, and they will continue to self-medicate their co-existing disorders.
