I really don’t like the fact “addiction” is now a disease....

I think it plays into the idea something you can cure verses something you overcome...

I understand there are psychological aspects to an addiction, but it isn’t a disease...

It does a disservice to people who actually have a disease....

You can’t overcome MS, but they might find a cure one day...

You have never gone through a craving....

Type two diabetes is considered a disease. That is cured by changing what you eat and how you exercise
