Which necessities in your life have too often been mislabeled by doctors and other busybodies as addictions?

@ArishMell

I find it difficult to call my GP by her first name which, I understand, is now acceptable? Then again, for her "Doctor" may sound stilted. I don't know...

@rinkydinkydoink I must admit I've never thought of that, but neither have I ever addressed mine directly by name anyway, as far as I remember.

Using the title might sound stilted but at least errs on the side of etiquette!

@ArishMell

Yes :)

@MellyMel22

You're a find-out-for-yourself kind of person? Taking things at face value - especially by people selling you a product or an idea - is a bad idea?

@rinkydinkydoink Honestly, I do what I like to and whoever doesn’t agree- too bad.
Maybe I misunderstood 😅 I didn’t catch you said others. Though my mom and kids’ dad were all “ told you so” when I told them I needed a heart catherization last year- but then when I had it, fully aware I heard the dr refer to my 100% clear arteries being beautiful. I even questioned it. I said are you sure it doesn’t even have a little bit and the doctor said I was 100% clear in both the left and right. My mom and him still insist that I don’t eat healthy enough 🙄

@MellyMel22

Some people don't understand that eating anything we want, anytime of the day we want and as MUCH as we want is like exercise for our internals. 😁
