Sin for those who know they get wicked when they’re sloshed or otherwise chemically altered. The disease story never made sense to me. Allergy maybe, or accustomization. Doing for the body what it ought to be able to do for itself, until it can’t anymore, and might need a hand to get things normal again. I wonder if it’s an insurance issue,that it takes the disease label to get recovery paid for.
The disease label started with the legalization lobby.
It’s part of that movement. First decriminalize, then move to legalize. It’s worked with pot.
I have a friend who has had two mastectomies. She became addicted to the prescription drugs she was given for pain.
Is she a sinner for that?
Or are the prescribing doctors sinners?
She has never harmed anyone else as a result of this addiction. She had to go through an intensive program to get off the drug. She is now going through three surgeries on her back. The nerve damage in her back was caused by the painkillers.
What does she do about the pain this time?
