look up the word disease and tell me what it means.
a normal persons brain does not repeatedly engage in dangerous, destructive, and harmful behavior to oneself. but an addicts brain does.
it is similar to a person born with type 1 diabetes. That person is born with a defective organ (the pancreas). Addiction is no different, except the diseased organ is the brain.
Get it? I am very old and very wise.

How about aggressive drivers who put their life in danger?
How about skydivers who risk their life?
How about child abusers who might be sent to jail?
How about suicide bombers?
How about "video game addicts" who end up homeless?
How about hoarders who compromise their health?
How about arsonists who are sent to prison?
How about chronic gamblers who end up homeless?
How about food junkies who kill themselves with food?
How about husbands who beat their wife and go to jail?
How about people who cut themselves with razors?
Many people engage in behaviors that are harmful to themselves.
To label them with a brain disorder is ludicrous.
"disease" used to mean dis-ease meaning "not at ease"
Now it means a biological defect and malfunction.
Don't buy into the lie that your brain is fucked up.
