Calling it a disease is a cop out IMO. You have to take some responsibility.
That said I am sorry for your loss man. Hopefully now your friend can get some peace.

Weird that your brain doesn't direct action based on pleasure and pain like normal folks. That might not be a "disease" in the classic sense, but it's anomalous and definitely a condition.
I got sober 14 years ago about an hour before I died. I don't care whether it's a disease or no, or whether someone thinks I'm a pussy or not. Long term recovery happens when you get humble enough to tap out regardless, not because you somehow got tougher.
