When I was seeing a counselor, my counselor and I had a couple rounds of her telling me I have an addiction, and I tell her I have made poor choices. My sessions usually end with my counselor blue in the face.
When I am extremely stressed, I make a poor choice because I need a break that isn't generally available any other way. When the stressful situation ends, so do my poor choices. My counselor tells me that's called falling off the wagon. I tell her I don't believe addiction is a disease, and I'm not going to make excuses for my poor choices, I might have addictive tendencies but I'm not addicted.
Thankfully my poor choices have never led to financial issues, health issues, or physical harm.
