I don't like that phrase either. I've read quite a bit on addiction, and I think a lot of mainstream rhetoric on it is moralistic and not grounded in evidence. If you're open to literature recommendations, two books that have shaped my opinions on this are Chasing the Scream and In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts.
Yes I very much am. Thank you I will check them out.
E:Just listened to RevLeft’s podcast on Billie Holiday a couple weeks ago. Then reading the opening of Chasing the Scream. Her life sounds horrific. I really feel for her.
