But I totally disagree peoples brain pathways are programed ‘for addiction’.....that’s pure baloney.

NOPE. That's what the research has PROVEN. Maybe I need to explain the research better. I realize that some folks are disinclined to accept facts or the truth. Though I have this funny notion that folks do better at least UNDERSTANDING the facts before rejecting them out of hand.

Better we end this discussion as we obviously don't agree that people are “programed” for addictions. Only the addict can choose or not to stop and how he or she goes chooses to go about that. It is still a matter of choice.
