What do you think?

Happy Holidays to all....
So I've been stewing over something and thought I'd get some opinions. In one of my recovery groups led by a professional addiction therapist (who isn't an addict)....he lectured us on how addiction was really about 'greed'....and that really ticked me off...because my addiction felt like desperation...a soul twisting pain that was desperate to be soothed...a loud clatter in my ever fiber that needed to be soothed...medicated.
I didn't say anything to him about how offensive it was to describe my experience as 'greed'....because I'm trying to listen and take time to consider people's input before I react....one thing I know for sure is that I've been wrong about a lot...and that kept me sick.
What do you think...would you label your addiction as 'greed'.
