    read the book Staying Sober by Gorski. He notes all the medical evidence
    you need. Do you know what PAWS is? How many relapse warning signs are
    there? How many fazes do you find them in?

    If addiction is a disease, why is it that treatment mostly involves support
    group attendance or counseling by addiction professionals who have no
    training in medicine or psychology? The only bona fide medical treatment
    involves detox for withdrawal symptoms or hospitalization for organ damage
    but not for the addictive behavior itself.

    just repeating addiction is a disease, addiction is a disease DOES NOT
    “”PROVE”” that addiction is a disease. Where is the empirical data that
    confirms this “theory” ?
