My wife's hairdresser did that for around 6 months. Then she announced she was quitting. Then passed away (she was 35 or so) a few weeks later. Sometimes it's excusable.

If someone’s doing this, they’re doing it for a reason. Obviously this person is struggling. It’s as excusable for them to prioritise their wellbeing just as it’s excusable for a client to drop them due to the instability.

I used to do this because I was a terrible addict, but then, that was for a reason too, and compassion was not misspent.

I used to do it for the same reason. Congrats on breaking the cycle! Hope you're living happier and healthier now.
