Alcoholism

Are you chemically dependent on watching? And don't just say that "I feel sad when I don't watch" or something equivalent. Show me that you have a true, chemical dependency.

well when jazz is on no matter what time it is i need to watch. sometimes i try to go to sleep but cant.before a game lets say 2 or 3 hours before the game i fall asleep i wake up about the time the jazz start to play. and cant sleep untill i know the final score.

does that classify

 

[chemdude1232]

I'd say no. Those don't sound like withdrawal symptoms (at least to me).

are u a doctor

 

[chemdude1232]

Not of medicine. I know that doesn't make me an expert either. But what I do know of withdrawal symptoms is that in most cases they are far worse than sleepless nights.

so is being addicted to watching jazz basketball a disease if so. can my health insurance cover the cost of nba league pass

There is a difference between mental and physical addiction. Quitting alcohol when your an addict can have severe PHYSICAL symptoms. You being addicted to the Jazz is all in your head and much easier to overcome.

as i stated in another post.

the disease excuse. takes power away from the alcoholic. with no power over their drinking what can they do as i stated in another thread.








also if an alcoholic is powerless to this disease shouldn't dui and vehicular manslaughter/homicide not be punishable by law since its a "recognized disease" which we are powerless against.

also the only "treatment" to alcoholism is live long attendance to an aa meeting. it is free but a basket is passed for donations. hmm sounds like a cult

this gives me something to think about. . . .

how about this:

calling it a disease that can be treated makes the insurance companies billable by the pharmacies and doctors, right????

wouldn't be the first time monetary considerations entered into the equation of what professionals choose to label as a disease.

Dutchjazzing? Does that require clogs?

As a nation Denmark, it's people are pretty weak minded. Many of their UFC fighters, while great fighters, are big, big cheaters. It's in their culture. Cheating. They have no personal pride.
