I tend to agree here. While I agree that substances are addictive, it is not the person who is inherently an addict. That's bs. Babies are born with hemophilia, not alcoholism. People medically develop diabetes, not drug addictions. I get so mad at my boyfriend when he stumbles home drunk and says he can't help it. Come on. Did you make the conscious decision to go to the bar tonight? Did you make the conscious decision to order a beer? And another? And another? So how are you going to tell me it's an act of God and you were born that way?
That's what she said.
