Topic	Is addiction a disease?
Far-Queue 12/22/18 11:57:31 PM #44:	Your argument against addiction being labeled a disease is that it's "self-inflicted" and preventable? So if I get hepatitis from contaminated water - that's a disease. But if I get hepatitis from sharing needles, then it's not a disease? If I develop cirrhosis from hepatitis I contracted from contaminated water - that's a disease. But if I get cirrhosis from excessive drinking, then it's not a disease? How does that make sense? Not to mention, as others have pointed out you can develop addictions even when you're not a drug-seeking junkie. Addiction is a disease. Your arguments suck. Keep trying, though. It's entertaining watching you make an absolute fool out of yourself. --- https://imgur.com/ZwO4qO2 Bluer than velvet was the night... Softer than satin was the light...
