Do you personally consider Alcoholism a disease, or do you consider it an addiction just like nicotine or other drugs? Both?
Best answer:
Answer by Lucifer J Satan
Personally I don’t, nor do I consider any other kind of substance addiction to be a disease.
They all started voluntarily.
What do you think? Answer below!
Whatever the person calls it is OK so long as they realise they cannot have ‘just one’.
It is a disease, like all other addictions.
Alcoholism is an addiction that ruins your life and the lives of those around you. Yeah, it’s a disease.
How is it a disease? You have control over it. Wouldn’t that be considered an addiction (because you induced it yourself)? Idk, that’s just my opinion.
Addiction is a disease. Individuals may not have the resources or the right mindset to quit. Relapse prevention should also be promoted because it is easy to slip back into old habits without support.
I agree with satan, it’s an addiction that you created voluntarily
drinking alcohol in limited quantities occasionally is fine and it does not amount to alcoholism. But alcoholism is considered an addictions. It can also lead to a number of health problems, both physical and mental.
