The woman responding put it perfectly. You don't just snap your fingers and all of your unhealthy behaviours are gone. Humans are creatures of habit, and if you've been behaving a certain way and have a certain kind of mentality for a long period of time, it's going to take time to reverse it. And if you know what you're doing is toxic, why engage in it at all? It's all fun and games until you meet your match and your head's above water due to your own stupidity and selfishness. You're a safety hazard to those around you, and you'll dodge accountability because you brainwashed yourself into believing that reprehensible behaviour is the most fruitful.
Ultimately though the way I see it, everyone has the freedom to choose how they want to live and how they want to conduct themselves. Just like engaging in anything harmful, if you know the risks that come with it and you still continue as a result, then whatever happens next is 100% on you.
