@zakiahehret246: Controversial question of the day: Do you believe addiction is a disease, a choice, or a combination of both? No judgment. No arguing. I’m genuinely curious to hear different perspectives and life experiences. Let’s keep it respectful. 👇#recoveryispossible #addiction #controversy #change #MentalHealth

It was a choice in the beginning for me until it was no longer a choice, and then it was a habit which then turned into an addiction

I was addicted to cigarettes by *choice*. I made the *choice* to quit smoking cigarettes after 25 years. It's always a choice.

the first action is yours and yours alone, which makes it a choice

Started as a choice. Very quickly turned into a part of life.

Some of these comments are hard to read or rather hard to believe that some people feel the way they do about this subject. I have never heard any child say "when I grow up I want to be an addict" Never. Not once. Noone wants to be an addict. Noone wants to watch as their entire life falls apart at noones hands but their own. Trust me, you have no idea the amount of people who are in active addiction that are spending nights alone screaming and crying from the depths of their soul and praying to God for the strength to get up the next day and break free from it all. For the majority of people fighting that battle, it just doesnt work that way. I do believe however that yes, the first time you tried a drug, you chose to try it. More than likely you had a hell of a bad day (and I dont mean just a bad day at work, etc. I mean something life changing may have taken place months, weeks, or even just days before. Something that shattered your heart or changed you completly.) So you have one bad day, maybe a "friend" offers you something and tells you this "just try this. It will make you feel better. It will stop your tears." Maybe that same "friend" had offered it to you before and said the same thing but you always declined their offer until one day your bad day is so bad that you just want your pain to stop so you say okay sure this time. That was your choice. You chose to try it. But before you know it, it isn't a choice anymore and once youre in that part of addiction you have to fight like youve never fought before to get out of it. Addiction grabs ahold of you and latches on as tight as it can because it doesnt want to let you go. Sadly, most never get themselves free from that grip. You have to want it. and want it bad. So again, this is a choice you have to make to free yourself from it. So I guess what im trying to say is that you choose to try it in the beginning and if and when you quit, You choose that too but all the stuff in the middle, its not a choice. its a prison that you dont even realize youre stuck in until its to late to break free from.
