not really a choice when your own body, mind, and health is fighting against you. if someone who has an alcohol addiction just stops they could literally die. so technically yeah they can make the choice to stop but it’s not black and white. people who do heroin have excruciating pain, that it’s unbearable. plus usually due to their environment and lack of money to get help, there is only one way to make the pain stop and the mind is working against what’s right to stop the pain
