It isIs addiction a personal choice too?Drugs are a personal choice...
no. it's a disease.
I don't buy the disease route for drugs or alcohol. Saying it is a disease, to me personally, is trying to take an easy way out. Yes, some folks are hereditarily inclined to addiction. The rest, to me, is personal responsibility.

Alcohol is a drug and you are a mentally defective ignoramus.......................Recovering addicts will always turn down drugs, as they are not mentally equipped to handle themNo to the public that went insane due to Obamas lack of care
For some reason you seem to think I'm a liberal.
Not true, I know however that you are an addict in denial
Which of course is why I turned down that second script of NORCO.
LOL...I'm a fan of micro brews and high end liquor.
I'll leave the pill high to you and yours.

Taking the drug the first time is a choice, continuing when you have no money and end up in the street is a disease.Na, it’s a choiceIt isIs addiction a personal choice too?Drugs are a personal choice...

In other words you come from a drug addicted family, and you are dysfunctional because your mother spent her pregnancy with you boozing....................Which is why you did not form mentally Look it up, it's sadIt isIs addiction a personal choice too?Drugs are a personal choice...

You're exactly right.
I come from a long line of alcoholics with addiction weaknesses.
They were all highly functional drinkers that exceeded the average person when it came to success.
I credit my Mother for breaking the cycle and teaching me what to look out for before you reached the point where denial was an afterthought.
Name one person who chose to be an addictIt isIs addiction a personal choice too?Drugs are a personal choice...
no. it's a disease.

That's about the only way they can say it's not their responsibility and not their fault.
Summing Up
Addiction involves an initial “honey moon” period, followed by alternating periods of remission and relapse, and then an eventual return to a more sober life. Most addicts quit using drugs at clinically significant levels, they typically quit without professional help, and in the case of illicit drugs, they typically quit before the age of 30. The correlates of quitting include many of the factors that influence voluntary acts, but not, according to Figure Figure1,1, drug exposure once drug use meets the criteria for dependence. Thus, we can say that addiction is ambivalent drug use, which eventually involves more costs than benefits (otherwise why quit?). Behavioral choice principles predict ambivalent preferences, semi-stable suboptimal behavior patterns, and the capacity to shift from one option to another. In contrast, the brain disease account of addiction fails to predict the high quit rates; it fails to predict the correlates of quitting; it fails to predict the temporal pattern of quitting; and it is tied to unsupportable assumptions, such as the claims that neural adaptations, heritability, and irrationality are prima facie evidence of disease. To be sure “compulsion” and “choice” can be seen as points on a continuum, but Figure Figure11 and research on quitting make it clear that addiction is not a borderline case.
It is time to think about addiction in terms of what the research shows, particularly the more recent epidemiological studies, and it is time to abandon the medical model of addiction. It does not fit the facts. The matching law, melioration, and hyperbolic discounting predict that drugs and similar commodities will become the focus of destructive, suboptimal patterns of behavior. These same choice models also predict that individuals caught in a destructive pattern of behavior retain the capacity to improve their lot and that they will do so as a function of changes in their options and/or how they frame their choices. This viewpoint fits the facts of addiction and provides a practical guide to measures that will actually help addicts change for the better.
Addiction and Choice: Theory and New Data
Tell us what you are using that you are not addicted to?
Opioid drugs and fentynol, did they over prescribe those for the better part of 15 years or not? Remember your hero Rush was hooked on them!Big pharma does not make heroin, cocaine and meth................The democrats caused this problem by letting drug smugglers come in from Mexico
You got that kid?
No they didn't, the opioid crisis was started by big pharma as both parties turned their back and let them make yuuuuge profits while hooking millions of people on that shit! This is a problem shared by both parties!
Grow up
Rush was using 20 doctors, this is not the fault of any one of those doctors, it was his fault. I have been prescribed Tylenol with Codeine, Percocet, Talwin and morphine sulfate narcotics in my life, they all treated the pain at the time and I was never once addicted. Are you planning to ban all painkillers? because of drug users
My understanding is that they have cut WAY back on writing scripts for them yes. And why did your hero go to 20 different Drs for those scripts? Yes because they got him addicted to them.

actually he got himself addicted to them
addiction is a behavior
Big pharma does not make heroin, cocaine and meth................The democrats caused this problem by letting drug smugglers come in from MexicoAnother massive failure by the Orange Clown after the Democrats did so much to prevent it.

The biggest opioid problem is pharmaceutical related.
They bust pill Docs on a regular basis.
Pharmacies do not prescribe drugs, doctors do, so pharmacies and drug companies are not at fault in any way.
That is rural America! I drove to Gettysburg this summer right through the middle of Pa and that is one poor ass area. Why don't they get up and move their lazy asses to a city and get work?President Donald Trump is failing miserably in the battle against the opioid crisis.
What a pathetic, lazy President. He should drop that fucking golf club and get to work.
'Worst year,' 'terrifying trend': Opioid, heroin deaths in '17 ravage Central Pa. counties

I was referring to pharmaceutical drugs.
Had I meant companies or..LOL..your local Walgreens,I would have said so.
I know what you are saying, but drug makers are not at fault unless they are selling without doctors prescriptions...............................
Think
Why make them addictive?No one is forced into addictionAddiction is not a choice, the ramblings of an addict are hardly evidence of reality.
Next
No one is forced into schizophrenia either, so is it their fault?
Think, if you can
Thats a ridiculous analogy.
Blaming pharmaceutical companies for doctors prescribing medication is ridiculous

Narcotics do save a lot of lives you know, they also improve the quality of life for millions of people. Why do you want people to suffer?for crying out loud. I have had many surgeries, injuries, and broken my knee twice. I received narcotics each time for pain. I have never been addicted.Yes but sometimes prescribing narcotics creates more problems then it solves.Who makes them addictive?I was referring to pharmaceutical drugs.

I'm Belgian, my wife's American. My mother in law died while being addicted to Oxicoton. An addiction she picked up after a surgery. My wife just had surgery here. The pain meds she got prescribed was a form of Tylenol. My mother in law was pain free but addicted when she left the hospital. My wife was in pain a few days after her surgery but not addicted. Which of these you think is preferable?

I've been through multiple serious surgeries over the last three years.
Hip replacement,cancer and back surgery to be exact,and I'm here to tell you Tylenol didnt dent the pain.
Do pharmaceutical companies make heroin?You do not understand drugs in general. Heroin is a natural chemical, it is not made addictive, it is addictive, there is a difference. Many people get addicted to being pain free, as the pain that Obama induced on society is unbearableWhy make them addictive?No one is forced into schizophrenia either, so is it their fault?
