I thought my alcoholism was a curse. I see now that it is one of my best and biggest blessings. God used it to help me find Him.
Well FRiend, it sounds as if you belong to the first group I mentioned:
"The world is full of people who have had the will power and strength to overcome their weaknesses or harmful passions and build successful, productive, rewarding lives."
The world is also full of people who presume roles and power where they have and deserve none.
When these other people presume to define a chosen behavior/indulgence of a weakness as a disease, therefore equating it to something like multiple sclerosis or type 1 diabetes where behavior has ZERO to do with the fact of the person having the disease -- well, those people who equate behaviors with diseases are second-guessing God and HURTING the individual they presume to help.
Alcoholism, homosexuality, drug addiction, etc., are behaviors and pretending they are diseases or "orientations," no matter how good or kind or compassion the intention, will lead to bad things because it is based on a falsehood. Truth sets people free; lies, like "alcoholism is a disease," shackles them.
