True - makes the most sense... It's ridiculous to think this is not a choice. I laugh at people when they "need" cigarettes or alcohol or other things.. Trust me - I like to drink.. At the right time.. Will power is a very rare commodity.

I'm an alcoholic, from a family of alcoholic Scots descendants, who could put the Irish to shame. It's not necessarily a choice to be an addict. I'm firmly convinced that everyone is an addict in waiting; it's just that some haven't found the magic substance yet. I shudder to think how many so called clean and sober people would be broke and on the streets, if they ever tried cocaine or heroine.

And while I believe that being an addict isn't necessarily a choice, giving into that addiction is one. In the last 30 years I've had maybe 3 beers and no hard liquor. I realized where I was going, when I was 20, and put a stop to it when I saw too much of my father in myself. Every few years I would test myself and say, "Nope, I haven't changed."

So I don't curse the addicts for being addicts. I curse them for not having the balls to walk away.

I was a HUGE Mt Dew drinker. I know it isnt alcohol or nicotine, but man was it a habit. I've cut way back now.

I've seen people think they could handle it but you can tell yourself how strong you are, but until you're in a mens bathroom in the middle of the night

ing smarties off a urinal, you have no idea.

Does this shit make sense in your head before you post it? Or do you just type random strings of half thoughts and are too lazy to proof read?

It's only an addiction if you admit it.
