Why is alcoholism considered a disease/illness?
...yet other forms of addiction aren't?I mean what is the difference between alcohol addiction and say heroin addiction? Why is one a disease and the other not? I read somewhere that it is classified as a disease because there are several distinct stages of alcoholism or something like that Surely that applies to other addictions as well no? I mean after all in most cases addiction is something you inflict on your self, disease is something that catches you off guard and is not really down to your own behaviour I might be wrong though Anyone got an idea?

Anyone who has suffered alcoholism can answer this?
Hey, just today I went to see my dad for the after holiday until school comes back around. He has been acting quiet and staying in the bedroom. Soon, around night, I went to bed in that bedroom and looked around and noticed the wine, corkscrew and glass hiding in the cabinets. He is supposed to be sober as he been suffering from alcoholism but he drank anyway. I confronted him about it but he denied it for a bit until he knew I wasn't going take it. He just took the alcohol and drank it right in front of me and said, " I'm an alcoholic." I called my mom and she came to pick me up. He has relapsed when he was supposed to see me a bunch of times, been fired from his job, went to jail, had sex with women, and is now living with his parents since he now has nowhere to go. This is honestly briefly typed up sorry not going into details it would go on forever but I'm getting sick of this sh t and want him out of my lifeI gave him many chances and he blew it away. He does love me very much still and I know he thinks of me as his whole world when it isn't alcohol but I'm tired of this wreck a d can't take it anymore. I also can't take the same ol' answer to why he does this 'his brain isn't right' 'it just tells him to drink' I want to know why it makes him want it, why he needs it. Not just because it's addiction or a craving something more. Please, I want to understand, I might not be able to help him much but I at least want to understand.
