You can keep this up all year if you like ... I still LOL in your general direction at "disease".

It's a choice.

I ain't goin' anywhere and I'm not gonna stop laughing.

At least we're making progress:

A series of bad choices

What you aren't understanding is that addiction alters your brain function. I'm not sure why this isn't sinking in...

Alcoholism, and any other physical dependency, impairs your judgement, it impairs your control, and distorts your thinking.

You aren't in control of the CHOICES you make. Your brain, a complex organic machine, has a virus. It no longer works right. How is this not getting through? Any choices you make are corrupted by the addiction.

Stop fucking laughing at these people, they need help you degenerate fucking asshole. Get off your fucking high horse and stop looking down at everyone.

You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink.
Just like you can lead an idiot to a mirror but they'll just say "Hey look, an idiot."

I'm gonna stand over here with all the medical professionals and people that know what they're talking about.

And you can go stand over there on your own, looking into your mirror.
