WEEK 9B LPA Worksheet In the minds of most Americans, narcotics and alcohol are linked inextricably with addiction, and idea that conjures up images of the crazed user, oblivious to anything but obtaining more of his or her particular poison, who will stop at nothing to get it. To be sure, drugs and alcohol have chemical effects, and withdrawal from habitual use of those substances can elicit a raft of irritating physical sensations. But beyond that, science, and now the public, has embraced the notion that addicts suffer from a physiologically welldefined phenomenon –as Governor Dukakis put it, “a sickness” – even though repeated attempts to prove that addiction is a clear cut medical condition have been, at best, inconclusive. The addiction as disease idea has spread wildly, to encompass not only chemical dependency but overeating, undereating, shopping, and fornication. The “addiction” issue of Newsweek, for example, carried an unrelated story about the travails of Boston Red Sox third baseman Wade Boggs, who was being sued for twelve million dollars by a woman who had long provided him with companionship on road trips. In explaining the liason, the married Boggs confessed that he was “addicted to sex” – to which his former mistress responded, “I guess what I thought was love was just a disease.” The pervasive and growing influence of the disease model of addiction has serious ramifications for American society. The more psychologists and attorneys dismiss forms of misbehaviour as uncontrollable compulsions, the less people are held accountable for their actions – even when they have harmed others. Often, the only penalty for gross, even criminal misconduct is undergoing counseling in a treatment centre. Creating a world of addictive diseases may mean creating a world in which anything is excusable, one that must inevitably slide into chaos.
