[QUOTE="ilovetheoption, post: 442629, member: 1414"] I must fully admit that the notion of addiction as a disease is one that I've never fundamentally grokked. I grew up with a drunk for a dad, and it has left me with very little sympathy for somebody who can't control themselves. I hear "it's a disease", but it's also a choice, every time you pick up that bottle, and every time you pick up that bong. Nobody has ever accidentally taken a bong hit. I make bad choices sometimes. I have a couple extra pounds to lose, but every time I eat a cheeseburger, that's my choice, and if I don't have the willpower not to (or to put it another way, if my pleasure centers have been hijacked in my brain by the greasy goodness), that's my fault, and if I knew that there would be consequences for it, and I kept doing it, I wouldn't expect much sympathy.
