ohhh it's a natural every day disease...
that's like saying "oh.. I might go out and choose to get cancer today.. just to try it" and then your stuck with it, you can't shake it "ohhh.. poor me, i chose to get cancer and now I can't get rid of it .. help me"
cmon man... you pick your poison and you deal with it.. dragging family/friends through hell in the mean time.. that's my view.. you choose to do drugs, you face the aftermath and all that comes with it...
ITS NOT A GOD DAMN DISEASE/CANCER.. I'm not addicted, because I haven't done drugs.. Spose, I must be lucky, I don't have the disease to try...
Come back to earth people..
For those in this thread that have been addicted, tell me, what was the reason you tried it in the first place? Or where you naturally called out by drugs, they chose you, and you had no choice?? OR where you socialising/trying something new? With your answer, I think you'll find out how ridiculous it sounds to be calling it a cancer/disease
Considering this thread is about cousins, he's been offered help, though instead of taking the help he decided to do more drugs.. it's probably about mixing with hot woman and partying up to make that choice.. notice the key word "choice" he's a grown man, he knows whats right and whats wrong, he made a choice, he has to deal with it..

tell me, what good reasons would he have to take cocaine and binge on it, 5 straight days.. please tell me.. and im not picking on anyone here, maybe except cuz, i love him as a player, but think he's ****ed up in the head off the field.
From my health background:
Definition of addiction first:
The fact that we are not aware of is that is, does Cousins have a drug dependancy or is it a habit:
Now if he is dependant on the drugs then YES he has a disease. It doesn't matter how he got there or what choices he made, it has become a disease. We also don't know how he feels after the drugs. If he has unpleasent symptoms after taking drugs then this makes it compulsive and he needs more to get those "good" feelings back.
Drug addiction is either a physical dependancy or psychological dependancy or can be both. Physical addiction is when drugs have been used for a habit and the body has grown accustomed to its effects. Psychological dependancy starts as a habit to, but to relieve pain or give pleasure and then the mind feels like it can't cope without the drugs effects.
Ben Cousins made mistakes by taking drugs in the first place, but from habitual use (if he falls into the above characteristics) has lost control of his compulsions. We don't know how hard he is struggling if he is, and we prob won't because he acts like an arrogant bastard which doesn't help his cause.
Hopefully he really does want to help himself deep down inside, and as human beings we should support him. I know not everyone see's things this way, but that is where I stand.
