Stigma of Being Drug Addicts

I am sure, if you have been reading my blog for a long time, that you know that I live next door to a family who has two drug addicts. These two guys actually were enrolled in a drug rehab program years ago and they have been certified clean but I still hear people calling them "drug addict".

I know that the stigma will forever be there but I think that it's awfully bad mannered to keep calling them like that in front of them too! I feel sorry for the mother. She is already in her 90s – very old, yet still going strong. But then, I won’t go purposely go out of my way and make friends with her because she has two “drug addict” sons.
