I know i have an addiction and I know that addiction is an illness, a disease.But it's hard for me to believe that I have an "emotional", or "psychiatric", or "mental" illness. I always pictured such people in a hospital or institution. I thought of them as "crazy".
These days I am finding out how mistaken I've been. Such people are not crazy, they're not always in a hospital, or institutionalized. More likely, they're with me at work, with me at the store,with me in church. They are like me and I am like them. In fact, I am one of them.
