Addiction as a disease is intimately linked to AA 12-steps culture btw

Only in the sense that everything surrounding addiction is. But addiction as disease is just the correct heuristic and is used by everyone from psychiatrists to therapists to laypeople.

It definitely is not used by everyone, specially not addictions specialists. It’s a highly controversial theory that has 0 empirical proof.

The idea of addiction as disease became widespread because of AA 12-steps. AA came with the allergy “theory”, which eventually evolved into the disease theory.

It’s not a good model though. It treats addiction as something external the sufferer has no control over.

The best most modern addiction therapies and treatments are all about strengthening the ability for self-control.
