You're right, thanks for clarifying that. I also believe that addiction is never a choice, no matter whether it's alcohol or skin-shifting.

As a child, I was actually very angry at my birth-parents for being the way they were. I thought they choose their addiction over me, that I had just not been good enough. But then, Mom told me stories on how addiction affects the brain, even some annectdotes of her own patients, of good people, loving people with families, who really did want to stop because they loved their kids so, so much, but couldn't. This really helped me come to terms with the death of my birth-parents back then. She was a good Mom before I ate her.
