There are ppl that are addicted to sex, gambling, food, porn, video games, exercise...etc.

How do YOU have sex and eat without becoming addicted? There is an imbalance in an addicts brain...it's kind of like an obsessive compulsive disorder. These ppl had an emotional or social dysfuntion to start with and were more likely to become addicted to SOMETHING...ANYTHING...and it just happened to be drugs. So with drugs not only is there brain telling them that they need this...there is a physical dependance with drugs.

Not to be a dork but I know this. I should probably be more specific next time.

I'd wanna do research into what causes those chemical imbalances

I get your point of view but I have to disagree. Addiction IS a disease. Obviously there are some addicted people who don't give a shit about other people helping them and aren't helping themselves. Those are idiots. But some other addicted people that actually try to help themselves are worth helping. You can't generalize like that. Not all addicts are selfish idiots.

And yes they are to blame for first trying the drug but it's not everybody who gets addicted to those. You have to have the personality and the brain for it to be addicted like that. And then it's very hard for them to stop.

Think about all those people who are addicted to cigarettes. Yes they started smoking it and are now hooked on it but no they never meant to be addicted to the nicotine and most of those cigarette smokers do relapse after quitting several times. And that is regardless of how motivated they are.

And don't give me examples that prove me wrong. I am not wrong and this is case by case.


A recreational drug user is one that uses the drug from time to time. An addict needs that drug to live.

Example with alcohol:
When you go out from times to times you drink, you are a recreational user. When you need to drink even on no occasion to live you're an addict/alcoholic.

With drugs it's the same but a lot of addicts will claim they are recreational drug users and can't stop when they want. Truth is, they can't stop when they want. They think they can but they can't.

I understand that there IS a few exceptional druggies who really want to get clean and my hats off to them. But the amount of druggies who actually care to get off of drugs is very minimal compared to the other i say 90 something percent who just dont give a fuck except to keep getting high. Seriously calling addiction to drugs a disease is honestly so disrespectful towards people who suffer from real actual diseases. Keco you are from Ohio so im sure you know/known MANY meth heads so i see how you might want to defend addiction a bit since you've probably had alot of loved ones fall victim to drugs. But im sorry stealing from your own family is one of the lowest things you can do in my book. You can do so much to help a person but some druggies just really DONT want help.

that sucks your momma being robbed. i got robbed on a night on my way home from work once, three Irish guys pushed me off my bike and took it and my wallet which had a tenner in it. got my wallet back as someone found it in a park nearby; the cops took my clothes i was wearing that night for DNA testing, i still have scars on my shins from a hedge i was trying to climb over that they pinned me against. i didnt do or say anything until i saw someone on the opposite side of the road and shouted for help, then they let me go, i dived over the hedge i was trying to climb over and across the road to a nearby hotel to where i called the cops
