Putting addiction into the "is it a disease or is it a behavior box" is kind of moot...It's both.
 
I agree. I consider it to be a disease but I hate to see someone use that as an excuse to relapse or continue using because it's a disease that we as addicts have control over.

Once recovery has been set into motion and we have learned the tools needed then we hold the key. Then it becomes a choice to use or not.
