Your opinion would not be inline with science, with medicine, or even with an any professional who treats "addictions." Educate yourself a little, and you'll learn you're wrong. You'll also learn you're wrong about "beating it." Spoken in the same vein as an alcoholic...who hasn't yet admitted to alcholoism. You never beat it. But you spend the rest of your life trying to be sober. Being sober doesn't mean you've "beaten" it, and you will never cure the "addiction."
It's a disease. It's classified as a disease. Any medical expert will tell you as much. Any medical journal, text, paper, or treatise will recognize it as such. Certainly any recovering alcoholic will tell you the same. Visit an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting some time; you may find it educational.
Hummm!!! Really! I quit smoking, I started when I was 12-13 years old Now 30 I was 3 packs a day when I quit and did it cold turkey on 10/22/2003 not even one drag after I decided to quit. The cravings for Nicotine ceased it took about six months.
I have been to many meetings Mother, Sister, Aunts, Uncles, & Cousins are Methamphetamine & Pill Addicts my Father is an Alcoholic. They all make the choice not to stop/change their behavior. All I here when I go there is people that are whining and sniveling about their Addiction or talking about what doctor "prescriber" gives better prescriptions "pansy pills" to help deal with their addiction. These people self inflict or choose to snort the line, take the drink, or inject that crap in to their vein it dose not get their uncontrolled like cancer, or other disease like malaria. The ones that swap their drug for feel good "pansy pills" and claim they are clean just because they take legal prescribed pharmaceuticals hahahaha.... thats a joke.
"Whats the difference between a drug dealer and a drug Pusher In this Country? Well the Drug Pusher has a M.D. after their name!"
As with any drugs there is Use, Irresponsibility, & Abuse! I am not a drug addict but I will spend the rest of my life trying to be be clean just as they do. When and if I drink I do it responsibility! It's all about self control Period.
As for the medical experts, journals, texts, & papers why would they not classified it as a disease as it will give them M.D.'s employment security and let them push the legal drugs for the pharmaceutical company's.
