Is Addiction an illness
Addiction is illness-like. it has many characteristics of an illness with a few differences. Let's focus on these.
When "afflicted" with addiction the "cure" is by a complex means.
In addiction the "drug" is like "Air". The addict needs the "drug" like we need to breath.
The cravings are immense initially and after the "cold turkey" the battle is long and hard.
For an addict due to brain changes fear and hope, ability to handle life stresses is changed.
The "cure" is a complex for an addict but hopeful.
The cure for the one who is ill is either more black or white.
