I don't like calling people out but...

I hope that clears this up. neoGAF did a huge favor to my family, the only part of this process I ever hated was the idea that some thought they did it for nothing. They didn't. They helped my Mom out immensely and, in fact, as a positive note, she is responding so well to treatment that she is nearly in remission and they think they might be able to put her on a kidney transplant list - something that doctors thought would never be possible.

That's awesome, happy for her.
 
Basically, without re-litigating the whole thing, the problem people had was after the donations were made, after I was finally free to start saving my own money [completely unrelated to any donations] again (since before I was using my savings to prop up my Mom's medical bills and such), I posted that I was going to spend on a load of drugs like 6~8 months later. They noted that it's probably inappropriate to say something after people donated and some speculated I used donated money to do it, and my argument was that if I can't spend the money I started saving for myself again the way I want, couldn't we say this about anything (say my game purchases or movie purchases).

In the end, I conceded a key point - I did have a problem. Since drugs were the way I had my recreational fun, it was difficult to understand how it looked to everyone else. So I entered myself into rehab. I finished the bulk of it, but I retain therapy and still go to NA meetings every week.

Ok, thanks for posting that ami. I agree with what you said completely - you can't hold your earnings hostage forever after something traumatic happens. But good on you for taking an effort to relax on the drugs. Everything in moderation, but if it's something that is costing you hundreds of dollars or more I'd say that's as far from moderation as your status here.

Take care and hope your mom is doing well
