ADDICTION TO DRUGS IS A SICKNESS

I would like to comment on the letters and columns saying that drug
addiction is not a disease.

I do not understand how people can say that if they have never
experienced addiction. If those people had experienced addiction in any
form, they would be able to see that it is an illness of the mind and
body.

They shouldn't speak about something they know nothing about.

It is a disrespect to myself and the thousands of addicts in recovery
who work every day at dealing with this illness.
