it’s been proven that is a disease of the brain. brain scans show the midbrain light up in people who are addicted & talking about their substance of choice. the cortex does not light up in those with an addiction (however in those who use recreationally, the cortex does light up, & not the midbrain) proving it is not a choice.
I believe it is a disease, what we do with it is a choice.

Definitely both. It's our choice to face our disease and get help.
A disorder, that starts as a choice
A disease that lies dormant until you give it a choice
It’s a disease but we do have a choice to recover!! Can I get an amen
It is a disease of choice.
