Addiction a disease
I wouldn't mind sparking a good debate here if anyone is game. I broke up with my very selfish and emotionally abusive alcoholic ex a few months ago. Sometimes I can't decide if I think it's a disease. Sometimes I really wonder if that's just a way for everyone all around to feel better about it. Those involved with the alcoholic can say, "Oh that's not him. It's a disease. It's not about you." And the alcoholic can say, "I'm not a bad person. It's a disease." Anyone else want to share? I'd love to hear from anyone who is convinced it is a disease and why. I'd like to believe it.
