Is drug and alcohol addiction just a bad habit? Or is it a disease?

@gmarosie, we inherit the propensity for addiction. I used to tell people that I was born with the propensity to it, you just needed to add some substance (which I did in abundance). Addiction in my family goes back generations.

@hraka13 yes, I made up my mind when I got married that only one of us could be a drinker if the marriage was to survive. Also, after my childhood of hating the drinker(but loving my dad) I knew I didnt want that for my own self or family. I like to have a good time like anyone else, but at what cost? So, I have been the “steady ship” as a mother and wife. But, yes I agree it could have gone much differently if I wasnt so stubborn!! LOL.
