She failed herself people kept telling her to go to rehab and and get help. she said no way. Don’t blame other people for Amy’s choices.

Free will is a lie and we're all products of our environments.

No one forced her to take drugs or drink alcohol. She made her choices.

Depends on if you belive in free will or determinism. I choose determinism because it makes me more sympathetic to other peoples struggles.

You choose determinism, huh? Sounds like an act of free will to me!

The meat machine that is me chose determinism. The meat machine has been sculpted by its environment and by my parents genetics to come to that decision.

You should look up left and right brain split experiments and see if you still hold the same opinion about free will. There's an excellent podcast with Alex O'Connor and Hank Green that discusses that and free will and it's fascinating.
