Compulsion is overridden choice!

I'm not suggesting addiction is done flippant thing, it's a serious disease.

Quit throwing around insults then claiming I'm the one lacking integrity.

And not a choice.

Yes, action against compulsion is an active choice, but to not do so is not suddenly a lack of active choice, just a lack of ability to enforce it.

If you're concerned with what you are, be different.

I'm certainly not concerned, just making clear your ad hominem devalues your position.

Consider this paper regarding the very overlapping and complicated relationship between addiction, choice, and compulsion.

Consider a dictionary.

I'll repeat myself for your own benefit.

Yes, action against compulsion is an active choice, but to not do so is not suddenly a lack of active choice, just a lack of ability to enforce it.

Wilful ignorance devalues your position far more than an ad hominem ever will.

Mmk I'll Google those for you

Compulsion: an irresistible persistent impulse to perform an act

Impulse: a sudden desire, whim, or inclination

Inclination: a preference or tendency, or a feeling that makes a person want to do something

Preference: the power or opportunity of choosing

Addiction is the loss of power or opportunity to CHOOSE.

You seem obsessed with the assumption that I think addicts are just weakly choosing the wrong thing, or something. That's very much not my suggestion. Deep in the core of the brain, chemical dependence pathways influence decisionmaking in a way the victim is unable to override.

Now Google choice.
