Addiction … a Disease? … a Choice??

As mentioned in the previous blog, one view of addiction is “a behaviour you cannot stop that has destructive consequences.” This definition is not meant to pathologize, I believe that it is meant to normalize. No one chooses to become an addict, becoming an addict is often a process of someone making unhealthy choices, again… and again… and again until finally that person becomes stuck in their addiction. Yet the road to recovery is about making choices as well, choices that are in one’s highest interest, choices that enhance physical well-being, self-esteem, relationships, our spirit and making these choices again… and again… and again. So, how do you choose?

Warm regards & best of health,
