RE: Addiction: Choice VS Disease: The False Dichotomy

in #health6 years ago

One can drink normally for many years then suddenly cross an unknown line where addiction kicks in. It is also genetic and to some degree environmental. Meaning if you grow up with practicing alcoholics or addicts and that is all we know then it is likely to be considered normal behavior. Last I knew there were no classes growing up that teach a child how to drink or take drugs properly. If their were lessons then we could consider our choices. Once an addiction kicks in, then it can become the most powerful force in our lives. Learning generally comes when we have had enough. If people would talk about it as much as they talk about politics we would stifle the use of addictive substances by half! 🐓🐓
