Do You Really Think Alcoholism Is a Disease?

Question by AuroraBorealis: Do you really think alcoholism is a disease?
I don’t care who you are. You can stop drinking at any time.

Can a person voluntarily “stop” having Lupus?

How come no one sends sympathy cards when you realize that you’re an alcoholic?

Why is it that alcoholism is the only “disease” you can get yelled at for having?

People act like it’s not their fault. Tell someone who is lying in a hospital bed, dying of Crone’s Disease that you are just as bad off as they are because you are an alcoholic. They’d probably want to try and slap you!
