I thought this was in the Alcoholics forum - my bad - but maybe an alkies input could help
To be honest it doesn't matter to me if I have a disease or not.
The important thing is I do something about it.
If people in your life aren't doing anything about their problem then thats the problem
hiding behind a label or using a label as an excuse to do nothing is simply a symptom of a bigger problem, to me?
