I mean AA it is a disease. If you are a rational thinking individual it is an addiction. A miss under stood addiction. Scientific studies by unbiased groups have shown that the majority of people classified as "alcoholics" are in all actuality over indulgers and show no real form of addiction. Don't get me wrong, alcoholism is real and dangerous. Over indulges is just childish behavior by adults acting as children. EDIT: The AMA recognizes it a disease... but it widely debated in the community as to whether it is or not. If you belong to a cult… errr… I mean AA it is a disease.

I think that there are genes that predispose someone to alcohol addiction as well as other addictions. But it is their choice to try it in the first place. And it takes a lot of hard work and changes in thought patterns to beat it. Both. I think that there are genes that predispose someone to alcohol addiction as well as other addictions.

Based on family history, I can attest to the fact that is hereditary. It's a terrible disease I wouldn't wish on anyone. The American Medical Association classifies it as a disease.
