Alcoholism/Drug Addiction- Disease or Lack Of Self Control?
What's your thoughts,opinions,views.I've got my own view,which i'll save for when i'm choosing the best answer.
general public are brought up in environments where its the norm, other people simply do it now and again for recreation and end up hooked, others in recent times do it because they want to, like a sort of nihilist view on life
"I chose not to choose life span: I chose something else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reason when you've got heroin?
and alcohol addiction takes \away most human emotions, you grain no pain, no love, no remorse ... nothing. All you're concerned with is your subsequent fix, whatever that might be.
Well it's a apposite question.
I think people can enjoy a genetic vulnerability towards addiction. Therefore put a group of people in a situation where addiction could transpire,but only one will probably become an addict, that's because of the genetic vulnerability towards it.
So contained by that sense it could be viewed as a disease, or other a vulnerability towards a disease (in the same way you might be more adjectives to a cancer if that was in your genes). However there is other a degree of self in put on the whole article, if you are genetically vulnerable perhaps try to avoid situations where you would be gullible, smooth said than done though.
To answer your questions, there is an element of both.
it is neither.........and you are showing your ignorance of the subject by asking such a question.
I'm an alcoholic, although I haven't had a drink for nine years now. Alcoholism is NOT a disease. Cancer is a disease. I didn't get up up one morning with alcoholism, I had to pour booze down my neck on a regular idea for a long time. Same with any other drug. To say it's a disease is an insult to people who are earnestly ill.
It is complete self control that will stop you from drinking too much, keep you drinking moderately and once you are an alcoholic only self control will pick up your life.
disease comes from long term use, it will affect your mind and ability to imagine rationally.
Anyone can become an addict, it is habit and comfort that make us become slowly addicted, people around us will suffer too so it is a social disease.
The reason I do not think inheritance matter is because I was overweight after pregnancy and for the first time in my existence I was addicted to something - food. It took sheer willpower to stop eating too much and get hindmost to normal weight - it is psychological not genetic, you think you inevitability the thing you crave for as it comforts you or just because it is a habit, some ethnic group will say they have a genetic predisposition for it as an excuse to keep doing it in need having to be responsible for their own actions. Source(s): I live with an alcoholic that no longer drinks.
Its not a put somebody through the mill of is it a disease,or lack of something, if you have a diseased brain you would certainly be undersupplied ........! ; ) x Good Luck xx
alcoholism and drug addiction good question it is self inflicted and you can control it its adjectives about the mind im a alcoholic and i controlled every sip i drank if u want to change you can same goes for drugs no-one forces it down you i hold been of it now for 2 years because i chose to simple not hard
