Folks remember - the United States, along with the FDA and various other organizations define the word disease as: Any deviation from a normal state.
Often people forget this and think - "mental illness is not a disease. A disease is germs, cancer cells, etc." This thinking is incorrect, because their definition of disease is incorrect.
A disease truly is any deviation from a normal state. Alcoholism and mental illness are recognized diseases (by government, addict help programs, etc.) This is why you are never really cured from your addictions.
I won't say that any of you that are screaming free choice are incorrect. Cause it can be both: a disease and a free choice. But please consider redefining your personal definition of disease.
