Thanks for posting these. It's a reminder that I'm about 90% on board. #4 would be entirely true, except that social/human services and the courts often mandate treatment, especially in cases where the parents of small children are using. At that point the individual has little choice (or they could make choices and reap or suffer the consequences). #5 is mostly true because addiction is caused by repeatedly using or doing the same thing over and over and over... But, people sometimes repeat those behaviors due to personal problems like stress or mental illness or boredom. #13 isn't always true. People need people. Life gets lonely. It's not necessarily a cover or hidden excuse. Those three caveats aside, I'm down with the rest of it.
