Addiction is a disease, it's diagnosed by a doctor. if you weren't diagnosed, then please stop pretending that you understand or that your experience is in any way relevant.

That's like you saying you once tried on your mother's high heel shoes, so you totally understand being transgender, it's just a phase. it's just for fun, it's a choice.

(and for the record i did try on my mother's high heel shoes when i snuck into her room, but i'm not transgender.)

I don't think you can call someone binge drinking heavily from 13 right through to their 20s a phase like trying on a pair of shoes. That's quite a chunk of time.
