And ps, don't even get me started on tobacco addiction.........say what you want, but when you can't put them down, plan your day around them and can't wait until your next drag, it's an addiction that you need help with before the disease that comes with it hits you.

[Illtsate32]

Agree with everything you said BBQ, addictions arent just limited to drug and alcohol, there are many facets to it, but drug and alcohol is the one that most people think that everyone that suffers from it must lack moral values, which isnt true...

[Mindwalker]

There are many levels of addiction.......it's not a one size fits all coat.

It's sad to watch, especially if it's someone you are close too.

I've been blessed those close to me except one of my old friends (bad alcoholic) doesn't have an addiction problem, that im aware of.

Chup,

I know it is called a disease. There are also like 20 genders now. Doesn't make it so. Lol. I don't see how one form of self mutilation is a disease, but no others are. I get what you are saying, but the concept is laughable to me. It was done long ago to game insurance.

So someone who cuts them self does not have a Disease. Have someone in you F that does it and see how you feel about it then. I do and its a Disease.

Nicotine is a serious addiction problem. Don't anyone kid yourselves....

One of the worst........but everyone that smokes will deny it.

I’m a smoker and I can agree with that. Have tried to quit a bunch of times and I can’t kick it. And in my youth I did lots of drugs and never got hooked on any of it.

Whether you term it an addiction or a disease, I see the effects of all of these on a daily basis. I see the effect on the family and friends especially children. I'm always sad to see parents dying of lung cancer who's kids smoke as much as they did. Unfortunately they were raised with it. Same with obesity. Kids learn from their parent both good and bad.

Drugs seem to be the same way. So many with drug addiction have followed in their parents footsteps. Some seek help while so many others don't see that they have a problem. It's the reality of America today.

So a disease and addiction are the same thing? I know where you coming from but I look at it this way.

A person can choose to stop drinking or drugs, but someone with cancer just can't stop taking cancer. Not saying it's easy, but you can physically stop taking that stuff. Where with a disease you can't just stop doing something to get rid of most of the effects of the disease.

Also not saying a addiction doesn't require medical help.

A lot of the ones who are drug addicts(including alcohol and cigarettes), cannot just stop. And also, a lot of your cancers are self inflicted. My fathers was not, but a lot are.

Depends. To me, it starts as an addiction, you just think ya need it to feel better etc., and turns into a disease. Where not having it causes you physical harm, and mental harm.

Roll me another fatty, Cheech!

It's a drug and alcohol education program. Much different from rehab.

We had that class as one of the requirements to graduate high school. This is priceless, I'm not a Bloomquist fan or hater, but this really does demonstrate the farce that is the WRG/WoO drug testing program. If this had been Joe Schmo he'd be branded a compatriot of El Chappo and tarred and feathered on social media to the point of leaving the sport by WRG/WoO. But in true political fashion a negotiation was made and he goes to a class on the dangers of drug & alcohol use. Yes, my friends you are all safer now that the evil villian has to go to a class on the evils of dope, that I'm sure he was unaware of. I have tears I'm laughing so hard right now at all those holier than thou clean up the sport freaks.

Is this your homework Larry ???

[Illtsate32]

To all the people in denial about this, the class is not a one and done, the minimum time for this class is about a week long, it is absolutely a form of rehab, its outpatient, but still rehab. The way some of you people minimize things on here some of you might need a little lol...

[Barbecueboy]

So when does rehab start for the guys that fail the Tire testing farce?
