Is Drug Addiction A Choice Or A Disease?
Feb 11th
Question by Daniel S: Is Drug Addiction A Choice Or A Disease?
I was just wondering your thoughts on Drug Addiction. I believe it is a choice, because we are the ones that decide to put stuff in our bodies.

Answer by dude4∞
I’d say it’s an addiction. It doesn’t start off as a choice. You don’t say, “I want to be addicted to heroin.” You start off by making one bad decision which leads to a bad habit and then you start making more bad choices and it snowballs.
It’s definately not a disease. I’ve been addicted to drugs and I’ve had diseases. No comparison.
I was offered my first cigarette when I was in kindergarten and I accepted. Did I choose at that point to be a drug addict? I didn’t know the long term affects and how it would lead me to smoking weed and so on.
I chose to quit all that. You can’t just choose to quit having a disease. If it really matters to you and it’s really what you want, you can choose to walk away. But it takes awhile to get to that point, and I had to choose it again and again.
And again.

Why is alcholism or drug addiction called a disease when in fact it’s a choice?

Question by bobby_s_420: Why is alcholism or drug addiction called a disease when in fact it’s a choice?
I’m a recovering alchy & attend drug/alchol classes 4 nites a week, but I’m told as well as the meth heads attending we suffer from a disease of addiction. Why say it’s a disease? NOBODY forced the bottle down my throat nor the crack pipe in anyones face either.
See problem is I attend meetings & recovery groups 4 days a week, The facilitators & counselors all say addiction is a disease. I belive it’s a choice like I said nobody forced anybody to use. Is it just an excuse not too take responsibility for your actions? And by the wikipedia isn’t a reliable source.

Break Up Advice – Heaven or Hell? The Choice is Yours
Jan 3rd
An old Japanese story tells of an unsettled Samurai who challenged a Zen Master to explain the concept of heaven and hell. The monk told him to go away and figure it out for himself which enraged the samurai to a point were he drew his sword. “I could kill you for your impertinence” he raged at the monk; “That” the monk replied “is hell”. Seeing that his rage was indeed hell the samurai calmed down and thanked the monk for the lesson. “And that” said the monk “is Heaven”
The negative emotions experienced during a relationship break up may be view in much the same way; heaven or hell. The road to heaven is long and rocky but by becoming aware of your emotions and the negative impact they have on your life you may be able to make better decisions and have better outcomes.
The more you learn and understand about both your emotions and those of your ex/partner the smoother your break up will be. Knowledge of your emotions enables you to have more control over them and also prevents you from over reacting to the emotional outbursts of you ex/partner. Let’s face it, negative emotions do not move us to a happier place, in fact they do the opposite.
Next time you feel like having an emotional outburst or react to someone else’s ask your self this question “is this behaviour moving me toward heaven or dragging me back to hell?”
Naturally you may need to sort out some issues with your ex/partner but they will be much easier to handle if you can keep your head. If you find that you cannot converse with one another in a calm manner then you would be well advised to take a long break and have no contact.
On final point, we live in the present so this moment is your life; not yesterday not tomorrow, this moment. So what is it to be, Heaven or hell? The choice is yours to take so long as you realise that fact.
