magine this: your friend is an addict, not because she is abusing any substances, but because she is addicted to the gym and it is causing her to become anorexic. She’s not abusing any substances so is not in need of punishment, she just simply cannot get herself away from the gym. If you were seeking help from a medical professional for your friend you would explain that their health is suffering due to their addiction to exercising and is in need of medical attention, right? Well this battle, as well as others, is one that many individuals are faced with in their day to day lives and without seeking medical attention their addiction will continue to thrive. Addiction is a disease that should be medically treated not a habit that is chastised due to personal choices.
