Drug addiction s NOT a disease any more than a rapist sex addiction or a serial murderers blood addiction. It is an evil lack of control and discipline that an only be addressed with harsh punishment. I have lived with the loser bastards in my life. They are no damned good. They didn’t catch a germ in the air. The fell down on low character and ruined their own damned lives.I wouldn’t spend any money or time on these worthless people. I don’t care!!Get off this “disease” crap.That is put out to try to get your money fopr parasites who feed off those losers.
Let's dial it back to opioid addicts.
I've known two, one who passed away, who got hooked because they absolutely had long term unbearable pain. I've known one, who got hooked because it was a recreational pass time. Your statement fully applies to that individual.
Let's not lump every addict into the same group.
Is it generally a weakness? Yes. But with some, there really is a genetic predisposition to addiction that can be triggered through little falut of their own.
Is alcoholism a ‘disease’?
20 people may drink and drink similar amounts. 1 becomes an alcoholic. The rest go on to live normal lives.
Does disease mean no fault?
Well, rule out most heart disease due to diet and lack of exercise.
Cancer might be due to your smoking. That still a disease?
You have no clue what you are talking about
Thanks for chiming in with the expertise. Are you overweight and wish you were’nt? Have diabetes and still eat sugar? Ever had a kid that screwed up? Ever met a recovering addict who is an absolute wonderful person to be around?
I’m guessing you’re kids are perfect and your church bans people who have sinned.
Curious to hear your response.
