Drugs or disease: Based on the Book (Addiction)

An addiction brings us to this topic today. What is an addiction?
Is it a brain illness or is it a state of mind that we do not want to grasp. To some people it is some thing that can be fixed with a different addiction and some treatment. However, do we think that we need to do this to assimilate a healthy lively hood? Safer places for us to be or to be in control of ones self.
Do we need to medicate an already medicated person? How do we now that we are doing the write thing? You do not, you can only hope that you are helping us and bettering ourselves. it is why we do drugs, in our mind we are reliving our stress and we are reducing our out look on our intake of the shit that life throes at us. we can not be expected to live a serton way just because someone said it is the way to live happily ever after. It is what makes us who we are to do the things that we do. it makes us who we are weather we like it or not. You can take the drug away but you cannot take them way. It is hard for some who likes what they do to just imagine a new life style. To think of it as a disease and treat it like a disease would be wrong. It is some thing that we chose to do, on our own free will. I smoke weed, I do not feel that me doing so I jeopardize the life or wellbeing of any one, but I realize I have side affects to every thing I put into my body. I am not saying drug are good but they our in the hands of the beholder. To think that it is treatable thing and then it is over is incorrect. You should understand that it is a choice and is made by the person, not a disease. it can be compared to a fat or obsess child, to take away the food is not taking way the problem, but to strengthen the ego of the child and showing the appropriate way to eat. it will not be cured with pills and a steady pace. a good ego functioning person is a functioning person.
