@Katherine-k it was fine. I saw your point.
ADDICTION: a disease or a choice?
-
@Bonnibel both
-
@Bonnibel It starts as a bunch of choices, conscious or not. And then gradually, the person might become so accustomed or so dependent that it becomes a disorder.
Personally, addiction better be called a disorder than a disease, though. -
@Bonnibel
smoke weed Everyday
🙏 -
@Bonnibel it's a disease!!
-
@GreyWind I've never heard it be categorized as a disorder before but I think that is actually a smart label :)
-
@Bonnibel
Helplessness and Loneliness lead To bad Choices Which turns into Addiction 🙁....
-
@Sam770 Yeah they typically originate from bad mental states :(
-
@Bonnibel Awww are you Addicted to something 🙁
-
@Bonnibel well I think once it becomes a habit, it'll be harder to break it down.
-
@Sam770 lmao no but I used to smoke weed and drink alcohol when I was feeling low 😂 I never let myself get addicted because I've seen what it can do to people :(
-
@GreyWind Yeah, which makes sense. Even something like coffee. People that drink coffee every morning cant go a day without it or they will start to actually experience withdrawals. It becomes a mental and physical challenge
-
@Bonnibel The boundaries seem to diminish where habits end and addiction starts or maybe they're the same thing. :)
Made me wonder when habit and addiction overlap and where they separate. lol, that made me make a different post after reading yours. 😅😄 -
@Bonnibel I was Addicted to painkillers....Now everything is good...bro,☺️
-
@Sam770 Glad to hear youre not addicted to them anymore! Congratulations !
-
@Bonnibel awwwwww thanks bro☺️☺️
-
A disease because I have got a addiction of mobile games and I cannot pass my day without playing it..
-
Choice is illusory
-
@Bonnibel 1000% not a choice. I have to work and fight every moment of every day to not give in to my sometimes debilitating urges and cravings
-
@Bonnibel if we continue in addiction, our end result is "jails, institutions, or death". we have to make the choice, continually make the choice, to stay sober/clean. if we don't, that's where we're headed
-
@linhaha it's a disease, we can try something once and be addicted. we don't choose to be addicted or somehow down the line, just suddenly become addicted. all it takes is trying something once
