It is a self inflicted disease. Those who have it are cognisent about it. Most Dr's don't give a shit about the person because of this reason. I hate to call it a disease. Cancer is a disease. This is more of a bad habit that gets out of control. My Dad died at 51 because of alcoholism. I was in my early 20's and didn't completely understand it. 4 months before he died, we went to the Brickyard 400 and had some drinks. Bad idea.
If you are addicted to meth, you know you are. But the question "what is getting help?" Talking to other meth addicts? Talking to a psychologist who has never done but learned about it from a textbook? My Dad had been in treatment facilities. I know why now but at the time I thought it was BS. I too this day have a scar on my left shoulder over an altercation with someone from facility.

Hamilton should be in a long term treatment facility, then halfway house, build a close network of people yet come back there a couple times a week after it is over. Money is not an issue for him like it is for 99% of addicts. Forget baseball. It's over. He needs to be surrounded by anyone but a pro athlete. I feel more for him than some piece of crap like Derrick Rose. One of these days you may wake up to hear that he has committed suicide. Would not surprise me at all. In fact, I expect it.
I don't think it's wise to throw stones at people when you've never been in their shoes. I do not understand alcoholism, because when I drink too much, I never want to have another one. Of course there is a genetic predisposition to it, so it's a burden they have to carry that others don't.
You don't have the predisposition for it. I don't either, but I have family members that do. I have a predisposition for depression, and I can't just decide to be happy. It is a battle and takes a lot of effort to cope with. There are all sorts of afflictions people have, depending on their genetics. Homosexuality is another one. I can't begin to understand why a guy would be attracted to another guy, but I conclude they have something that I don't have. Are these afflictions diseases? More or less, I think so.
a disorder of structure or function in a human, animal, or plant, especially one that produces specific signs or symptoms or that affects a specific location and is not simply a direct result of physical injury.
