Why would people no longer help me here?  I can't have a politically incorrect opinion?  I'm sure there are people here  who agree with me on this subject but are afraid to chime in.  Let's focus on true diseases, like hep c!!  Also, I did receive at birth and not by being some addict and I'm pissed people throwing around  the term disease so lightly!!!

how old are you?

so if you don't have it it must not be real or bad is what it sounds like. I know and people who are poor it is because they just choice not to work right!

you have a very out dated point of view on the subject that is why your not finding anyone who agrees with you. like I said why don't read up on the subject. but i guess ignorince is bliss

You can have any and all opinions you want. Please though, don't state them as fact and don't make generalizations that are patently false about a disease you obviously know nothing about. It's not 'politically incorrect' to state that addiction is not a disease it's just not true.
