Psychology Today
https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/addiction/is-addiction-disease
"Once seen as a moral failure, addiction has more recently been viewed strictly as a medical problem. The push to regard addiction as a disease is well-intentioned—driven by a desire to lessen stigma—but fails to account for the many facets and facts of the condition. Worse, it robs sufferers of the sense that they can overcome the problem with courage, creativity, and some hard work. Rather, there is significant evidence that addiction is a complex cultural, social, and psychological phenomenon, as much as it is a biological phenomenon."
