Question by Cmeyer: Is addiction a disease?
I wonder about it being a disease because how can someone have a disease and make a choice when they want it to stop? What I mean is when someone is addicted to drugs and they want help they are choosing to. How can people quit cold turkey and it still be called disease? For example, John Lennon was addicted to heroin, and then he wasn’t. How did he shift from being an addict to not? He stopped using. How did he stop using? He decided to stop using, Cold Turkey with all the consequences of his decision. He didn’t have a surgery or take a medications or anything else…he made a decision. This points to a weakness of the disease analogy, and the drawbacks of the disease analogy. I cannot say “I choose not to have Cancer” once I get diagnosed. All I can do is live with the consequences of my disease. I could be 100% committed to beating Cancer and still have it kill me. But if I was battling addiction then 100% commitment would equal about 100% success in kicking the habit right? So that’s why I wonder if addiction is an actual disease.    Read more...
