MODERATORS
You’re shitposting right? I mean this is what literally every addict I’ve ever met says about anything. Drugs, Beer, Cigs, Gambling, Porn, etc. they all say this exact phrase before admitting they have a problem later down the road.
It's also what everyone who isn't addicted says
I’ve never had someone who isn’t addicted to something say “I can quit if I want.”
This whole post reeks of fake fan fiction trolling
Don't get me wrong, op definitely has... Issues.
I've personally encountered it a lot, usually in response to accusations of being addicted to their phones or video games or whatnot, and pretty often alcohol as well. Basically, everything where people love to throw around addiction as a backhanded way of just wanting to control behavior.
Ignoring the confusing and probably fictional op, what would you consider to be a valid response to an accusation of addiction that wouldn't just be met with "well, and addict would also say that"
