“Your first statement is incorrect.....but that’s ok.”
I’ve known plenty of alcoholics and plenty of junkies and not one if them was ever forces to take that drink or shoot those drugs.
I do understand that it may be a compulsion, but we have as humans have the intellect to control our compulsions.
Sounds to me like it gets to the point where it’s both mental and physical.....like people who can’t adjust their food intake and become obese.
Junkies are different than alkues
