sucks, my wife called it. People just don't have heart attacks in their sleep unless there is a defect or on drugs.

They initially tried to implicate his rough plane-landing (due to a tire blow-out) from the night before. I freaking knew it, but was in denial. There's pretty much no excuse for doing Cocaine at 50 years old.

Pitchman = (Carny) Said it all for me.
Not in his defense or mine for that matter, but.
The disease of addiction is one of the most fucked up diseases there is. It's the only disease that TELLS you, you don't have it.

Doesn't matter how many times your told, taught, shown, made example of, it still tells you, 'you can do drugs without consequences.' Oh ya..... You hear that voice in your head everyday and night for the rest of your life. Whata bitch!!!

There are alot of people that never give into that voice and they die clean and sober. (mostly sober) Still dead.<-----See what I mean. R.I.P.

Oh ya, and the kicker is, you can be born with it!!! It blows serious cock. Sorry I'll stop now.

People die in car accidents everyday. Yet we still drive.

We can start a thread on this, because I disagree. You start out, for the first several months, partying your fucking ass off. That is why people start drugs and alcohol. After you've been getting high for a few mos+, it's hard to quit.

It is not hard to quit after the first time. The rest is a bunch of chickenshit excuses, if you ask me.

I hold myself responsible and accountable for my actions (including faults and mistakes). I have never once pussed out and called anything a disease. Step up, people; it's your fucking fault, and not society's. Ironically, I am typing this while drunk. It's time for people to "man-up".

I completely disagree with addiction being labeled a "disease". It is weakness, and not a disease. I will forum-battle anyone on this.

I would never TRY to forum-battle YOU. It would be like facing you in any game server 1v1, I would rather, lay on my back and lick your ball sack. <-----(I might do this anyway) With the utmost respect and undieing love for you I must report.

Scientists at the University of Cambridge report that some individuals are indeed predisposed to drug addiction by the way their brains are wired. They seem to lack the docking points — receptors — for dopamine, a signalling molecule that plays a major part in what neuroscientists call the "reward pathway" to cause the craving experienced by many smokers and addicts.

The conclusion of the study, funded by the Medical Research Council and the Wellcome Trust, is that the decrease in dopamine receptors renders an individual vulnerable to addiction and is not a consequence of chronic drug exposure. "Much more needs to be done," Dr Dalley said. "The real point of this study is that it shows that this particular receptor is diminished in number prior to taking to cocaine.

Forum battling isn't about right or wrong, and I respect your beliefs. I am extremely opinionated on this matter, and that is why I said I'd forum-battle anyone over it.

The idea, here, is not to snort cocaine to begin with. Continued drug and substance use is not an involuntary action. There are steps involved, including:

:arrow: Securing the substance
:arrow: Using the substance
:arrow: Lying to at least one person about your use (this can include yourself)

Think about running or working out in any form, for that matter. You may feel as though you can't continue, but you can if you defeat your own emotions. The human body and mind is capable of much more than most people believe. I still equate addiction to weakness.

Mind-altering substances are not needed in the same way food, water, or air is. Strong desire does not equal need. If a person quits cocaine, the worst they can expect is better health and a reality check.

I believe addiction to be a disease about as much as I do ADD.

[BigToe]

I agree with you that, Not using the substance is a perfect world. But there are circumstances where the getting and using are involuntary. I'm not goning to use the, mom's addicted gives birth scenario. But I had a guy that dealt pot and would smoke it in the house with his 1 year old son and blow the smoke right in his face. Which at the time (I was 13) I thought was nuts and the parent is a douche bag. And that kind of shit happens all the time, then and now. Now you have a child with his receptors diminished prior to taking the cocaine. (in this case pot) A parent showing him, telling him it's ok: At what point is that mind over matter. Having said that. And having had said this, I believe that it is a personal responsibility after finding out your addicted to seek and maintain active recovery. But from the time your born to-at what age does it become voluntary.

I don't have a dog in this fight or the one I'm going to start. I don't think depression is a disease either.

I firmly believe that anxiety and depression are not diseases and require no medication or treatment, other than a swift kick in the ass.
