He is right, I work with addicts at their worst period and can say his point of view is very healthy and how it should be seen.

I respectfully disagree as an addictions counselor.

Addiction is a choice. Every time you pick up that drug, it’s a choice. For some it’s more difficult to say no, but it is a choice.
I come from a family of alcoholics and I chose to stop drinking years ago for my own health. It wasn’t easy, but it certainly wasn’t impossible. What a terrible thing to say to a person, that it is a “disease”. If I had gone to AA they would have told me I’m powerless. BS
