Addiction is a disease

AS life is intended, this is a learning moment. I'm learning more than any doctor has ever tried to impart. I believe I'll not argue the disease aspect again.

I'm sorry I got sucked into the argument. I only wanted to help people who struggle with an addict by raising an awareness, not an excuse for the behavior. I also want more social resources available for people struggling with addiction.

I agree that more must be done but until we, the people, cease being secret socialists, there very little I see changing. The US was built by free men, unafraid to step forward but today, people like myself are considered to be freaks of nature because we contain the audacity to learn more than one, boring. method of earning the income to feed our families. And for someone to succeed in establishing a business three times is considered an absurd lie because I snorted. shot and popped it all away.

I know the monkey, personally, that is responsible and I let Jesus kill that monkey and to raise up a better new man from that Satan twisted creation. And I see not much happening until we awaken to the truth that we are created beings and that the Creator will restore what He has created, a thing no other can do.

Is she taking it for pain or addicted to it?It is like smoking that first cigarette.You discover....I feel better,you like the high.My anxiety or stress is gone.Or you have that first drink and you notice it numbs the horrible feeling you had inside.Well,what is that horrible feeling?A mental illness?Many people like that cup of coffee when they wake up.It starts there day but many rely on one cup of coffee after another.Why do they have to have that stimulation?Why do they have to drink 10 cups of coffee a day?Do they know what is going to happen if they go cold turkey off that coffee?Instead of admitting that underneath all of that addiction there is a serious problem.Maybe you know deep down inside but do not want to admit it.You are in denial.Along with that comes a whole lot of prayer for God to guide you and direct you.But if you are in denial how is God going to help you?

What causes addictions? Habit forming maybe? But then what cause's people to form habits? Dopamine maybe? Then what cause people to get addicted to dopamine? Habit forming maybe?
