Answer by Pam Ragland
Dear “Eyedocwood”,
Internet addiction is one of the fastest growing addictions today, because it is so available. I have experience with addictions of all kinds. I include Internet Addiction in my book “The 7 Whys of Addiction: The Hidden Secrets that Cause Addiction and The 3 Keys to Finally Be Free of Them”, because it is so prevalent today.

Is Addiction a Disease?
Question by Bishbosh: Is Addiction a Disease?
Is anybody else sick of people saying addiction to drugs or alcohol is a disease? Its not a disease, its a consequence of taking too much drugs or alcohol. If you don’t do the drugs, you don’t get addicted, so how is it a disease?

Answer by knkpatrick
People get lung cancer from smoking, and cancer is a disease. Addiction is a disease and it is caused by the over use of drugs or alcohol. There is proof that the disease changes the way the brain works and it causes stronger and stronger cravings. It’s true if you don’t drink or do drugs you will probably never have a problem with the disease, but there is all kinds of addictions and usually they effect the same area of the brain. There is a lot of Scientific facts on the internet and I am not going to pretend to have all the answers, but living with a family full of addictions and fighting them myself, I can assure you it is a disease.
