Everybody I talk to is always telling me that not every drug user and alcoholic are not bad people, but how can I believe that when I hear this? I am very judgmental when it comes to alcohol and drugs, and see no reason why I should give these people a chance, really.

(((Lexicon78))) . . . Substance abusers/addicts are sick, have a malady. Their actions are bad. Many resort to crime to support their lifestyles.

I think you are very wise for not trusting substance abusers. Being judgmental about drugs/alcohol is okay. I also think it is important that you recognize that these users are "human." Some do get treatment and recover from their partying ways. In those few cases, trust must be re-earned again.
