Best answer:

Answer by M K
I believe it’s a choice. Because when you get addicted to something you chose to do it in the first place. People with diseases don’t get to choose whether or not they have a disease. But when you are addicted to something you are choosing to continue. Even though the choice gets harder and harder as you go on you can still choose. You just have to be strong enough to do it.
I think that addiction is a cowards way of getting out of things.

Well, I once took a class on it and the instructor taught his students that “addiction is a disease with no cure.” I personally think it is a bunch of bullsh*t and refuse to be brainwashed. I believe that addiction can be cured. I believe in Jehovah God and people change all the time. To teach that is a disease is understandable but to claim it has no cure is ridiculous. Supposedly, you can quit one addiction but another will follow. Addictions are not all bad, some can be quite good actually.
