I disagree. Some people have addictive personalities, others can do things in moderation.
Addiction is way too complex to be labelled a choice, It affects us chemically, emotionally. These things lead to choices. Addicts simply have greater stimuli and pressure telling them to do things, so choice is not a word i would use. Mearly because it suggests nonchalence, and laziness which i guess are the sterotypes of an addict, especially to a straight laced psychologist.
Neverthless i say this with a massive glass of wine in hand, and some zydol tablets underneath my matress, waiting for me.
Sure I choose to take the things, but personally i feel I have little more control over my addiction than I do my sexuality, or my height. They are part of me. That isnt choice.
hope i wasnt too blunt. lol
