Addiction can be a sin if you do the wrong things while you are addicted.  Addiction is more a function of conditioning.  Things happen to us, we do something to alliviate the pain we feel.  We do it over and over,  (example:  eat a pie when we are sad),  and it become a coping mechanism, then it might turn into an addiction and then we rely on that pie when we are sad and head straight to it when something bad happens to us.  Addiction is not a sin, but it can make us sad and more addicted.  There is plenty of help for all kinds of addictions.  Google help for addictions.

The church will say it's a sin....the counsellor will say it's a disease.

It doesn't matter what you call it.  From all I've heard and seen, it requires help to stop it.

Taking drugs for instance, is a sin which eventually becomes what society labels a disease. I don't believe in the disease theory when it comes to dope and booze. You put it in your body without a gun to your head. I have no compassion for dopers or boozers that wreak havoc on society. This comes from an ex doper and boozer. Cancer is a disease, MS is a disease, etc;
