As Described by the AMA, Is the Disease Concept of Addiction to the Drug Alcohol “Human Friendly?”?
Question by abnjim5: As described by the AMA, is the disease concept of addiction to the drug alcohol “human friendly?”?
Having been addicted to the drug alcohol, I have listened to my conscience speak (ID or addictive voice). It seems to enjoy hearing the “disease concept” and powerlessness of addiction as described in Alcoholics Anonymous. Through a deep thought process of examination of why this clever “addictive voice” listens for signs of weakness of self, I have discovered that it is seeking permission to use drugs; the disease concept of addiction is considered by my addictive voice to be a fault of my self and attempts to over-ride logic that is found in another part of my brain. Since I do not wish to engage in drug using behaviour, I use self-discipline to arrest this addictive voice, and often satisfy its demands with a more healthy behaviour like exercise of good food.
Alcoholics Anonymous tells its members that the use of self-discipline (aka self-will) is not to be used. and is dangerous. These AAers tell people that they are “powerless”! Is addiction a disease? or $ $

Here is one true story about Caroline, a brave lady from Hull who has battled back from addictions to drugs and alcohol to reclaim her life and her family. Caroline was supported in her recovery by 1) The East Riding Partnership, a service which ADS delivers in partnership with Humber NHS Foundation Trust; and 2) by the East Riding Alcohol Aftercare Service, which is delivered by ADS. Caroline says: “If somebody out there now is still using or drinking, you can get your life back. It’s hard in recovery but it’s better than being picked up from the gutter. And you can do it.
