Why does this disease concept of addiction, especially alcoholism, deceive so many when it their bad choices that causing them problems. But, yet they play that sad song of powerlessnes.

I do not belive an addiction is a disease. I do believe an addiction is just that.... an addiction. Nothing more. Addiction can only be cured when the person who has the addiction wants to be cured. Never before. A disease ( a non deadly disease) can be cured whether you want it to or not.

I guess there's no defanite answer, it's all personal opinion.

What do you call it when a substance causes an overwhelming chemical craving in the brain? Are you saying that addiction doesn't exist? Science disagrees.
