Alcoholism is a disease. Some people have a hard time believing that,
but it's true. You may have heard that all an alcoholic has to do is
"stop drinking," but it's not that simple. The American Medical Association
(AMA), the American College of Physicians (ACP), and the
World Health Organization (WHO) all recognize that the compulsion to
drink and the physical dependence associated with it is a disease.
Without professional help, an alcoholic will probably continue to drink
and become worse over time. |
