In my psychology class in both college and High School kept saying that addiction is a disease, I fought tooth and nail over it . I had to stand myself up everytime when it's brough up saying that to me addiction is a form of habit you created, lets say cocaine.

When you first take cocain,e it was the best high; then when you take it more and more like a habit, then your body starts to become dependent on that drug so your body is telling your mind "I need this." And you can get off of it, it'll be hard, but it can happen when you put the time and effort to it.

The only time when I call something a disease is when you already had it in you before you take it, like a biological disease such as sickle cell anemia.
