[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 534067, member: 11791"] Not every person with a chronic disease, is willing to pay the price to fight it. I've known diabetics, for example, who absolutely refused to "live by the rules", and died very young. But one of the challenges with addictions is that the real battle isn't in the body - like most diseases - it's in the brain, and the impact on the physical body is secondary. When the disease is running your brain... you end up feeling like you're fighting against yourself (my gfgbro's words). Which is the real "you", anyway? What are you fighting for? What will you get if you "win"? Unlike beating cancer, for example, the answers to these questions are not always clear and not always positive... But it really isn't fair to be the parent. {{hugs}} [/QUOTE]
