There is no such thing as addiction,
which is a fancy word for human
weakness.

The man behind the curtain
- Damien
- I like words, images, graphic design, well-turned phrases, doodling, humor and profundity. These are found in every quarter and I'm always on the hunt. I was rescued (in November, 1974) from guilt and a stubborn irrational belief in an impersonal chance universe (with the accompanying hopelessness). I'm now convinced that nothing is more obvious or worthy of our attention than our Creator and the one true ancient path. Only Jesus has the words of everlasting life. Like John Newton "I once was lost but now am found, was blind but now I see."

I disagree. I think some folks have a stronger lean towards repeat destructive behavior, despite their best efforts.
"stronger lean" and "addiction" are hardly synonymous.
having overcome addictions, i agree.
now i know my weaknesses and can take steps to conquer them accordingly. a struggle at times? yes. hopeless? never.
GRACE.
not a slave to sin weakness no mo'!
Romans 5:20-21
Now the law came in to increase the trespass, but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, so that, as sin reigned in death, grace also might reign through righteousness leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Addiction is admitting that it's going to take more than sheer willpower to change your actions.
yes, it's going to take sheer will power plus actual repentance.
