Had like 3 guys I know on Facebook come out with the whole "In recovery! Fighting this disease!" Shit in the past year or so.
No. You're a fucking dope fiend. No one forced you to do drugs. It was a choice. God damn. One of these guys was a VERY successful business owner who ran a custom car shop in MD. he fell off the face of the earth for a while then came back all "YAY RECOVERY!". I'm happy he's making a positive change in his life, but stop with the "it's a disease" bullshit. Here's a good video on the subject. |

There's vastly more evidence that supports the disease model than exists to refute it.
|
|
Well, God knows your opinion and a wacky Facebook video should carry more weight than trained professionals.

sure so insurance companies and doctors can make money curing the so called disease.
its a fuckin epidemic of weak minded assholes that cant handle real life. i had plenty injuries, surgery etc, dont need pain pills, heroin etc.... Go |

I agree... you didn't accidentally catch your disease because a hypodermic syringe full of smack fell out of the sky and stabbed you in the neck as you were walking your dog.
I have family with this "disease" and the heartache they put the rest of us through pisses me off. |

Disease my hairy ass, dopers make a conscious choice to stick a needle in their arm and can walk away anytime, the eight year old kid with cancer doesn't have that luxury.

Lots of excuse making, its a disease, this is so hard... whaaahahahaha Fuck you. You made a choice. Deal with it. |

I don't care what you call it...I just hope my pos druggie BIL od's and the ambulance with the narcan breaks down in route.
Copper stealing, lying sack of shit. |

Totally agree with OP.
Drug addiction is BS. Mental illness is just lack of character. Diabetes is for special snowflakes who need to be needy. And people in Virginia are all gay far-left entitled emos. Label much, OP? In before any vet who struggled with painkillers after an injury. |
|
Drug abuse is the only disease that makes you feel good when you get it. Not a disease other than insurance companies and doctors can make money off it.
|
|
|
Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man. |

Addiction, from a true prophet of our time...
"What you gonna do (about that shit)?" Richard Pryor Addiction |
|
Addictive behavior and low self esteem may be a disease. Making a conscious desision to drink, smoke, shoot shit into your veins is not a disease.
|
|
It's called Makeshitup'itis so FDA can give you some pain killers for your other pain killers.
|
|
Call it whatever the fuck you want but by definition addiction is not a choice. It is exactly the opposite of a choice.

How about the normally straight and narrow people who get hooked on pain meds after their doctor prescribes them like candy? Are they scum for being "weak"

Yes it's annoying but it is what it is. |

I would argue that an addictive personality is genetic like most diseases. Be it alcohol, cigarettes, sex, porn, gambling, tattoos, etc... There are studies that show an alcoholic usually has alcoholic parents an example.
That being said....the whole "I cant help it, I have a disease" argument is BS. |
|
yes, yea pain hurts, ive had enough to know.
suck it up. or pop pills... everyone has a choice. i just had major shoulder surgery, and took some tylenol.. that was it, i refuse narcotics. Quoted:

Alcoholism is a disease but, it's like, the only disease you can get yelled at for having. "Dammit, Otto! You're an alcoholic!" "Dammit, Otto! You got lupus!"
One of those doesn't sound right. -Mitch Hedberg |

This thread must be what Democrats are talking about when they say that Republicans deny science.

ITT we watch people who've never been prescribed high doses of pain meds for long periods of time talk out of their asses to those that have.

|
People who go into rehab and are recovering only to fall off the wagon over and over are so brave. So very brave.
