Sure, and 3 days without heroine might seem like a long time to someone with a heroine addiction. But still doesn’t mean that someone writing a an article of “I went 3 days without heroine, here is my insightful report” and stating that it actually wasn’t that bad is somehow not deserving of a bit of healthy critique.



3 days is an excruciatingly long time for someone with a heroin addiction. An internet addiction is more like a weed addiction.
