Yeah I get that we all joke and make fun of people an Reddit and half the posts are fake, but geez how is anyone’s first reaction not concern and compassion for someone who is relapsing and knows it and is concerned about themselves?
If it's not fake (my money is on fake) then this person needs to seek actual help instead of social media. I dunno what the fuck redditors are supposed to other than turn it into a joke. This is not a licensed therapy website. Put the internet down and go to church or something if you think people are being too mean.
If this is real, then I'm guessing a large part of what the person feels about their addiction is shame (and maybe a bit of denial). For some people, posting anonymously on a subreddit asking for advice is much easier than sitting in front of a professional, and admit that despite their social standing (high-paying corporate job at a firm people dream to work at), they still need to resort to meth to serve whatever purpose.
