    I believe that it is now considered to be a disease by the medical profession

    yes as well as a sin!!

    No. It's a terrible habit or addiction with deadly consequences. Calling it a disease is a poor, easy excuse by the support industry. It's an insult to all those that are plagued with REAL diseases.

    in AA we were taught that alcoholism is a self inflicted disease. we are not born with the disease but we are more prone to it if any ancestors were alcoholics.

    yes, self inflicted.
