So you are bragging about being an alcoholic and a drug addict in this whole thread?i stick to my beliefs and always will,I think drug addicts and drunks are weak people.Simple as that.I find them amusing and pathetic that goes for my best friends that passed away and are still alive.No sympathy for the weak.I have sympathy for people with real diseases such as cancer,ms etc... things you can't control.
This may cross into philosophy a bit but do we have free will and if so how much of it?
Clearly some people are more prone to addictions, don't you agree? I believe there is a genetic susceptibility in some people for sure. Same as I think "willpower" can be genetic too, some people are stronger willed in some areas by nature.
I don't necessarily think addiction should be classed a disease but perhaps addictions are best controlled through medicine/science in the future since some people will lack this "willpower" to stay clean no matter what.
