And I will repeat that while I don't argue that many medical associations and professionals may consider addiction a disease (and others don't) the concept simply does not make sense to me.
With that being said I believe addiction is a serious issue that needs to be dealt with as seriously as possible.
Believe it or not as humans we don't have to agree with everything that 'society' or some organization says. You are allowed to be you're own person and have your own ideas. And if that means that not 100% of my ideas make sense, I'll live with it. It just doesn't make sense to me. And I'll leave it at that. Thanks.
If it doesn't make sense to you, then you must have some definition of what a disease is. What is that?
