Are they just not addicts like Josh? What allows them to make rational decisions in their best interest, vs. Josh who cannot do that and succumbs to his desire to be stoned? This is one reason I usually have a hard time buying into the "addiction is my problem". How do we distinguish between true addicton and lack of willpower? You can't distinguish true addiction and lack of willpower because they are inclusive. For most addicts, it takes the loss/suspension of their job, troubles impacting their lives, loss of friends and family support and the loss of the ability to make rational decisions to even realize they are addicts. We are not talking about the social user here. When you keep doing things, knowing the consequences and disregarding those consequences, you have a problem. Having the willpower to say no to your addictive abuse is only a small percentage of the ingredients needed for a lifestyle change. Only when one succumbs to the fact they have no control over their addiction, will they have the strength to muster the willpower to end it. Other than that, it's pretty much all "smoke and mirrors" and manipulation to continue further with their destructive lifestyle.

chiefswarpath Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 People round here love Dede Westbrook. Better stash Gordon or Dede? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oG1KeNoBi Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Yeah I got him last week before kickoff since it was reported he'd be practicing on Monday or at least early in the week. I don't have many quality bench WRs so here's to hoping he makes a significant contribution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
