Alcoholism

[Dotard]

Pippy sounds like the fat-ass who crys their obesity is genetic and a disease.

Even if we agreed the propensity to acoholism / obesity has genetic roots one still must fuel that process.

It's like my 5.2 ltr V-8 in my pick'em-up truck is predisposed to use much more fuel than my Kia Rio it ain't gonna happen unless I put fuel into it.

An alcoholic may be predisposed to alcholism but it ain't gonna happen if you don't put the alcohol in them.
A fatass may be predisposed to obesity, but it ain't gonna happen if they put down the bag of cheetos.

Like Kawa said, " You can't just wake up one day after going to KDA (kidney disease anonymous) and decide through religion shoved down your throat and talks about how you're powerless against it, finally decide to stop having kidney disease."

So, as sucky as it sounds, pippy, it is a matter of a weak-will. I say this because I too, have a highly addictive personallity. Clinically diagnosed? No. I don't need a buncha white-coats to tell me that, I know it. I smoke cigarettes like a freight train. I'm psycologically addicted to marijuana.
I don't/can't stop because of my weak-will. Nothing more. I had several other addictions in my time that I did stop because I mustered up the testicular fortitude and will to stop. It sucked and was agonizingly tough, but do-able. Same with alcoholics and fat-asses. They can do it, if they don't it's a choice they make, unlike a disease where you cannot simply 'chose' to have it or not.

P.S. @ Kawa;

It's genetic, not gentic. (Poll question)
