Are Alcoholism and Drug Addiction REALLY Diseases?
Question by lily: Are alcoholism and drug addiction REALLY diseases?
Or is this just an excuse for bad choices? Or are we trying to legalize and give credibility to social problems?
If nicotine addiction is the hardest one to overcome, why isn’t it treated more seriously?
Best answer:
Answer by smokingun
They are as much diseases as any psychological disease can be called that. Nicotine addiction is tough, but it isn’t treated more seriously because it does not pose an immediate threat to your life. Yes, cigarettes could cause cancer… but they are legal and you choose to consume them, at that point the addiction is a moot point. Someone who is determined to quit can quit, and there are plenty of mechanisms in place to help. Of course, as far as I know, there is no such thing as a 12-step program for cigarette quitters… they tend not to ruin your life or the lives of those around you, until you do finally get cancer.

Causes of Addiction: What Causes Drug Addiction?
Drug addiction is a very significant danger that we are facing today. There are several factors that contribute to drug addiction
If your parents have addiction struggles, there are chances you are susceptible to addiction. If your parents use drug, you have a predisposition to abusing that drug. Drug addiction causes one generation to pass it on to the next
Experimentation and curiosity are the factors that draw many people to try drugs. They want to feel that “high,” the sense of euphoria that comes with drug use. Some drugs (like heroin) are more likely to cause addiction than others, resulting in an addiction from simple experimentation alone.
Sometimes people need some help coping with life. Everyday life becomes a struggle and simple things become too much to handle. Drug use can help a person temporarily escape the realities of his/her life.
