    Yeah, but it isn’t that simple, is what I’m saying.

    You’re pretending that it’s a completely unencumbered choice. That there’s no social and societal pressures making lifelong coca cola abstinence viewed as evidence of being in a cult or mentally unwell.

    Likewise, addictions fight you hard when you try to get rid of them, much harder than anyone who’s never been addicted can even imagine.

    Fact is that it’s NOT an unencumbered choice at all, and pretending otherwise doesn’t help anyone.
