the disease theory of addiction is incorrect, btw
"Oh once you have this illness it's incurable forever you are forever an addict and even being near something that reminds you of your addiction you WILL relapse because you ARE a filth addict with no self control"
This is untrue.
the cycle of addiction is perpetuated because the underlying causes are entirely ignored in favor of focusing solely and only on the "Addiction disease"
And frankly, some people just can't handle their shit.
It's so hard to point this out without liberal type people saying "OH so you just think addicts lack strength of willpower huh youre a terrible person"
I think SOME addicts lack willpower but I also think harm reduction and support addressing the underlying causes of the issue will cure them
@vriska often addiction is caused by an individual being unable to express some aspect of their personality within their society/environment and a healthy expression of those aspects makes such problems drop away
"once and addict, always an addict" implies such an expression of the personality is not possible and keeps the person under the heel; whether a moral failure at risk of relapse (AA) or a helpless victim of their environment (Liberal politicking) the addict just becomes another alienated pawn.
so much for today's study procrastination and mild fedi addiction, I'm sure the two are correlated.
