There goes that New Year’s resolution
There goes that New Year’s resolution
Let’s…already a copy/pasted response…no “not a disease” fools….no trolling hags…huess the trolls are sleeping in
Let’s…already a copy/pasted response…no “not a disease” fools….no trolling hags…huess the trolls are sleeping in
Watch Netflix – heroin(e) small town in West Virginia.. the amount of money spent is alarming. Almost like a zombie apocalypse. It’s everywhere
Nicole Damato Dunne stealing money, stealing shit from other people to buy heroin but yeah let’s feel sorry for the choices made
Patrick Brennan..another reason to take this seriously. Addiction affects everyone.
And to spite what an uninformed non expert will say..it IS a proven and recognized disease
Scott A Barnes yep just like cancer is a disease gotten through no choice of the person with it. ?
Scott A Barnes it starts out as an addiction a choice they made…it later becomes a recognized as a disease AFTER they use so often and damages the brain…but it DOES NOT start out as a disease.
the majority of addicts became addicted after they were prescribed the meds in the first place…. they decided to take a doctors advice and their brain got re-wired in the process….
It wasn’t such a huge thing because before the opiate boom in the medical industry people did have to make the choice….. we even have the federal classification system lie to the public to make them believe these drugs are safer than marijuana…… it’s hardly a “choice” when you take in all of the factors.
Samuel Ross Come on now. Keep blaming others as usual in this day and age. I took plenty of pain meds for surgeries and such and never had my brain rewired to go out and shoot poison into my veins. Guess maybe I just didn’t catch that junkie disease then. ?
Patrick Brennan than obviously your brain doesn’t have that switch that people with addiction do. If you were able to walk away that’s amazing, but for others it’s not that easy. Some say its will power which that may be true, but others (doctors, researchers) feel as though there’s a chemical imbalance that contributes to the misuse of these drugs, how can you walk away and others can’t? Plus, modern medicine only KNOWS for sure about 3 PERCENT of what the brain does. We don’t know what the 97 other percent does for sure. It’s an organ we are clueless on if you think about it. I respect your opinion, and luckily you were able to walk away from those surgeries without using the drugs after the prescribed time.
Robin Lee ? No. Addiction itself is the disease. You may be able to use once and never again. Joe Schmo Dan use once and then can’t stop. Genetics play a part as well, but the real key to not becoming a drug addict is to never pick up that drug in the first place.
Patrick Brennan you need.to read and learn what the definition of disease is. I was as ignorant as you seem, until I looked it up. I’m humbled now, and now I understand.
Robin Lee bad decision making is not a disease. Especially when you had it instilled in your head since early childhood to just say no. My body is disfigured from breast cancer. Not from poor choices.
Robin Lee doesn’t matter the cause nor symptom..the end result is what it is…a disease n comparing it to cancer is a total straw man
MaryAnn Caniano Marlowe is a disease…even if its a mental disease..stills counts
Robin Lee WRONG
Michael Sean Sweigart that’s your opinion I have mine…not going to change it…I have a DISEASE called MS no cure and I didn’t just wake up one day and say hmmm let me see what DISEASE I wanted today…it’s a disease that chose me not me it…the 1st time an addict chooses that drug of choice that was by choice and if the want to end that addiction before it becomes said disease they have options…sadly I don’t but to live with my DISEASE…you’ll never change my mind on ADDICTION!
Robin Lee Nope not an opinion it’s a medical fact. By the way my opinion is MS isn’t a disease either. It’s all made up! (See how stupid that sounds?)
Scott A Barnes Her opinion is that the Sun isn’t hot and the earth is flat!
Michael Sean Sweigart like I said you have your opinion or what you chose to call facts…that’s fine…I didn’t come here to argue just stated my facts and feelings and it will never change.. what I feel sad for is the families of the addicts who the rob and steal from to get their fixes…that’s what is so sad that they don’t take anyone into consideration except how to get the money they need to get their next fix…it’s very sad
Robin Lee show your medical or mental health degree…or significant of whatever you typing…or don’t post
Scott A Barnes at no time did I compare a drug addiction to cancer dear
Robin Lee Facts aren’t subject to stupid people’s opinions. Your opinion is wrong and doesn’t match the facts of actual science and evidence. You just don’t know how facts work do you
Patrick Brennan that is definitely not true.. not all cancer is caused by someone’s choices…maybe you should be a bit more informed there sir
Scott A Barnes and you have a medical degree from where? Lol
an lol emoji…yup proves my poiny..no knowledge at all
Michael Sean Sweigart sorry I disagree but I guess with your medical degrees you both can prove me wrong lol
And yet again the name calling begins lol
Have a wonderful day…I have dinner to prepare
Addiction is a brain disease. Many people drink alcohol, we estimate 70-75% might never have a problem and be social drinkers, another 10% might have problems related to alcohol drinking but they will often cut back or change behavior they are problem drinkers. Its the 10% who drink and will experience a change in the brain. This will increase their dependency. They will crave alcohol more, loss ability to drink in moderation, obsession will increase, and physical problems become more servere. They are alcoholics. When someone first begins drinking they don’t get to choose which category they will fall into. Some do have an increased risk due to genetic predisposition. Some people never touch a drop out of concern or personal beliefs. However the media sends messages all the time how consuming alcohol, makes you romantic, interesting, sexy and fun. They are required to add the “drink responsiable” at the end. So choosing to drink and being an alcoholic are very different. The National Institute of Health provides information on the disease if you wish to be educated. Otherwise, just because you don’t think its a disease doesnt mean you are correct. Science has indicated otherwise.
The disease model has been debated for over 40 years. However the greater number of scientific institutions and medical professionals do consider alcoholism a disease. A simple search on wikipedia will provide some information. > “The American Society of Addiction Medicine and the American Medical Association both maintain extensive policy regarding alcoholism. The American Psychiatric Association recognizes the existence of “alcoholism” as the equivalent of alcohol dependence. The American Hospital Association, the American Public Health Association, the National Association of Social Workers, and the American College of Physicians classify “alcoholism” as a disease.
In the US, the National Institutes of Health has a specific institute, the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), concerned with the support and conduct of biomedical and behavioral research on the causes, consequences, treatment, and prevention of alcoholism and alcohol-related problems. It funds approximately 90 percent of all such research in the United States. The official NIAAA position is that “alcoholism is a disease. The craving that an alcoholic feels for alcohol can be as strong as the need for food or water. An alcoholic will continue to drink despite serious family, health, or legal problems. Like many other diseases, alcoholism is chronic, meaning that it lasts a person’s lifetime; it usually follows a predictable course; and it has symptoms. The risk for developing alcoholism is influenced both by a person’s genes and by his or her lifestyle.”
I guess they should get rid of all the Spirits Unlimited’s and Buy Rite’s because i mean it’s a disease, and the disease will walk in and buy the liquor.
Christopher John Karbownik if you are addicted then yes the disease takes over..light n casual drinkers do not fall under the “drunkard” label
Must be nothing short of a modern day miracle than how all the alcoholics magically manage to stay out of all the liquor stores that are on just about every corner of town. It’s definitely not a choice so it has to be a diabolical miracle that this gets accomplished daily.
Christopher John Karbownik all alcoholics stay out of liquor stores??? I’m sorry Mr Facebook expert but An estimated 88,000 people (approximately 62,000 men and 26,000 women) die from alcohol-related causes annually, making alcohol the third leading preventable cause of death in the United States. The first is tobacco, and the second is poor diet and physical inactivity.
Christopher John Karbownik you should really just quit while your ahead bud.
Philip Michael O’Hara he doesn’t know, just thinks he does.
Scott A Barnes I just saw a video of a dude in game stop freaking out because he “thought” he should be called a women. It would be wonderful if we could take people’s thoughts and feelings out of it and just stuck to the facts.
Christopher John Karbownik you could keep hitting the ? button on my comments all you want I promise you will have nothing factual to bring to this discussion.
Talk about the definition of not getting it. If what you are saying is true, how does ANY alcoholic stay out of a liquor store if it’s not a choice to? I can’t fucking wait to hear this one. Becausei mean, if it’s a disease, and not a choice, 100 percent of alcoholics would be in liquor stores everyday. But they’re not. Some actually stay sober. So if it’s not a choice, how does all this happen?
Christopher John Karbownik oh no bud I get it. It’s you that can’t comprehend it. The frontal cortex of the brain which is what controls rational decision making shuts down in active addiction. Which is why they do not have a choice. With treatment aftercare and abstinence the brain turns back on after period of two years. Giving those alcoholics you speak of the choice back to not walk in that store. It’s the two year period walking around with out part of your brain working that so many can’t escape Addicton. Why do you think you hear about people living in a half way house for long periods of time after treatment? Because without the accountability of breath and drug tests daily they would fall right back.
I guess your parents never taught you that when you’re an adult, you are responsible for your choices and the consequences or triumphs that follow them. You can spin it all you want, but it’s a conscious choice and effort to either drive, bike, or walk into a liquor store, purchase alcohol, and drink it.
go back and read the very first thing I wrote . Very few people never have that first drink . Why is it only some drink alcoholicly ? Is it because they are morally weak people ? Please tell me sir ?
Christopher John Karbownik like I said you would not be able to give anything but your uneducated opinion. Have a good day sir.
Why is it Some people don’t drink alcoholicly? Because it’s a choice, and they choose not to. One day your incoherent brain will understand
Christopher John Karbownik again the paragraph at the top explains why your wrong . Scientists have proven that you are wrong. The only thing incoherent is your in ability to read numb nuts
Christopher John Karbownik
Philip Michael O’Hara you’re trying to explain neuroscience to this man…he’ll never get it
Maryann Murray Levine thank you for reminding me lol ?
Philip Michael O’Hara my daughter has a distinction in it…her research was “addiction”….this guy is lost right out of the gate
There’s also an economic component. ….and a pyschology/sociology component
Maryann Murray Levine environmental and trauma as well
Philip Michael O’Hara I just wish more people were open to learning science instead of preconceived falsehoods
Not for nothing but at the end of the day the only withdraw you can die from is alcohol ?♀️
Marissa Berndt only? What about benzodiazepines?
Philip Michael O’Hara instead of taking prescriptions why not get a medical card you were talking about alcohol, this most likely is a heroin od bc well 98% of the time it is
But definitely no recreational cannabis in Barnegat!
Patrick Schuler this. ?
Ignorance
Not there that’s the nice part of town
Praying for all who battled every day with this and prayers for the person today!
I wonder if you looked up in a very old dictionary if addiction would be considered a disease. And I wonder if the definition changed so insurance will pay for addiction.
