That's good. I've been in relationships with hyper-hedonists who just didn't know how to quit, much less care to. I may be weird, silly, and otherwise a decent person. But there are some places where I never want to go.
Like say, for example, someone who you thought you could trust decides to get off on controlled substances until they nearly OD. It doesn't matter to them about what happens after their fix. That's the problem with hyper-hedonists: They want all that pleasure right now and damn the consequences. Including death and a mourning dolly.
You're right to stay away from those people. Personally, I don't have the cash to fund those ER visits. That person in particular loved their fix more than my own love, understanding, respect and companionship. They are "All Beast". I had to break it off simply because I didn't want to be used as their life preserver within knee-deep water that they could easily rise up and walk out of, so to speak.
Really: It's either me or that "precious" fix. Choose one 'cause that person can't have both. It's heart-wrenching but there is really no other way other than that zero-tolerance ultimatum.
Besides, if anyone doesn't control their own self then they will be controlled by others. Usually by people hired by the State.
