[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 520468, member: 11791"] I don't like the cancer analogy. It's totally comparing apples and oranges. Cancer is "acute", addiction is "chronic". Which is why I used the diabetic analogy - at least they are both chronic. I know teens with diabetes who are doing everything possible "correctly"... and I know ones who fight against it tooth and nail. Ditto for kids with JRA. Some kids "get it", and some kids don't. Just like... some kids hit an addiction problem, we get them help, and they turn around. (yes, it does happen.) I'd be interested to know what is different in the wiring between the two groups, across a variety of chronic conditions... why do some self-sabotage and some not? [/QUOTE]
