 <title>Verdict : Alcoholism is a Choice not a Disease</title>
 <link>http://www.fastcompany.com/blog/michael-searles/talking-sober/verdict-alcoholism-choice-not-disease</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;W&lt;/strong&gt;hat do you believe about addiction?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Do you believe addiction is a disease? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Do you also believe addicted people have their addictions because of a genetic predisposition?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you answered &#039;yes&#039; to either or both these questions then we want to challenge those beliefs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Are you up to it?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;H&lt;/strong&gt;ave you heard of the &lt;a title=&quot;Baldwin Research Institute website&quot; href=&quot;http://www.baldwinresearch.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Baldwin Research Institute&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;?&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Are You Addicted To Being Addicted</title>

 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;T&lt;/strong&gt;his is the third and final part of this series of posts at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.talkingsober.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;Talking Sober ; Alcohol Problems &amp;amp; Solutions&quot;&gt;www.TalkingSober.com&lt;/a&gt; where we have been looking at the phenomenon of becoming addicted to the idea of being addicted .&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am suggesting this phenomenon is an aspect of the modern day approach to &#039;recovery&#039; that some addiction professionals and counselors create.&lt;/p&gt;
