I remember a while ago (10 plus years) Tommy Lasorda was discussing Darryl Strawberry's problems with alcohol and drug abuse and someone asked him about Strawberry's sickness and Lasorda very emphatically replied that Darryl did not have a sickness, he had a weakness...which I thought was an interesting take.
I have a friend who was in AA by the time she was 20 or 21 after multiple DUIs etc...and I've seen how that has impacted her life and it has made me pause and wonder if it is a sickness or a weakness or if at some point humans are just naturally chemically wired to allow our weaknesses become addictions and subsequently sicknesses (Alchohol, drugs, porn etc..)
