While it is not the best of comparisons it is adequate. Compulsion may lead to addiction. Addiction nourishes compulsion. In the cycle of behavior there are, in therapy terms, triggers. Triggers are where choice resides. Something happens to trigger the compulsion to come to the surface. The compulsion will lead to behaviors that may create an addiction if one type of choices are made in favor of others. A therapist coaches a patient on how to recognize and respond to triggers with wise, well reasoned choices. Ergo 'choices' are never easy and they are a significant factor.

I was pointing out how a conscious choice on my part prevented a similar occurrence in an similar situation in my case. It wasn't intended to deny the DECREASE in choice inherent to the situation itself, but rather to provide a counterpoint to illustrate that your experience is not the only result of specific circumstances. Does that make any sense at all? |

In the very weak correlation to the trigger brought about by abuse, it's intent is to illustrate that since it's possible for me to deny the affects of the 'chili trigger' in my case, it should be possible to do the same in the case of abuse. |

It is legal in Canada to own child pornography. Legalizing same sex marriage played a role in that decision! |

Again, my post wasn't to 'prove you wrong' or any such thing. It was solely to provide a counterexample to yours. So, in effect, I was emphasizing your point that different reactions are possible. And I also think it likely a more powerful experience would seem to lead to a more powerful reaction. |
