As Described by the AMA, Is the Disease Concept of Addiction to the Drug Alcohol “Human Friendly?”?

Question by abnjim5: As described by the AMA, is the disease concept of addiction to the drug alcohol “human friendly?”?
Having been addicted to the drug alcohol, I have listened to my conscience speak (ID or addictive voice). It seems to enjoy hearing the “disease concept” and powerlessness of addiction as described in Alcoholics Anonymous. Through a deep thought process of examination of why this clever “addictive voice” listens for signs of weakness of self, I have discovered that it is seeking permission to use drugs; the disease concept of addiction is considered by my addictive voice to be a fault of my self and attempts to over-ride logic that is found in another part of my brain. Since I do not wish to engage in drug using behaviour, I use self-discipline to arrest this addictive voice, and often satisfy its demands with a more healthy behaviour like exercise of good food.
Alcoholics Anonymous tells its members that the use of self-discipline (aka self-will) is not to be used. and is dangerous. These AAers tell people that they are “powerless”! Is addiction a disease? or $ $

Is AA a cult?
