Please give me specifics (bioligical) on why you think it is a disease, and why people claim they have no power over it?
That would be *biological*, not that other word I mis-spelled up there.

I was ticketed for a DWI and lost my job and have been diagnosed with the disease of alcholism. Is it constitutionally ok to fire me if I have a disease?
why? i never really understood this. alcoholism is, by official definition, “a physical and emotional addiction to alcohol”. howis that a disease? its an addiction. does that mean all addictions are diseases? everything you put into your body can change your mental state and change your brain. addiction to chocolate has been proven to change your brain, so is that a disease as well?
please explain!
my mom doesnt believe it is a disease. she believes that its simply and addiction, that can be given up if one learns self control.
so…do you believe is it a disease, and if you believe it is a disease, why is it considered a disease?
I was diagnosed with a fatty liver as a result of a blood test a few years back and was prescribed Deforming and Lovaza what are these medicines used for? from that day on I have been taking only Lovaza and I refused to take Metformin since it says on the bottle “DO NOT DRINK ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES WHILE TAKING THIS MEDICATION” since I like to drink I ditched the Metformin and drank instead now my Triglycereds are 939 and I am not exactly sure if I still have fatty liver but I have been drinking these two years ever since that test. before I had fatty liver I used to eat greasy foods and junk food I would eat a bunch of Mayonniase with every meal but I didn’t really drink that much so I was thinking that my fatty liver was due to my food choices not the drinking.
I know I wont be able to give up drinking completely since I like the taste of alcohol plus my grandfather drinks alot of beer and vodka and he is 74 years old and he has been drinking for a very long time and has no health problems and also my birthday is in 9 more days and I know I wont be able to handle a birthday party without celebrating which includes drinking
I’m sorry I made a mistake I was prescribed Metformin not deforming
yes I am on supplements I take them about 2 times a day are they helping?
yes I am kind of overweight I weight about 254 pounds but this was a while ago I think I lost some weight but I am not exactly sure how much I weight now since I don’t weigh myself except when I go to the doctor and now I have decreased my drinking I only drink friday through sunday and during the week I might have 1 or 2 beers but nothing else am I improving my drinking habits?
I am taking supplements not drugs
and they are not prescribed my grandfather ordered them from me from a store
I’m a recovering alchy & attend drug/alchol classes 4 nites a week, but I’m told as well as the meth heads attending we suffer from a disease of addiction. Why say it’s a disease? NOBODY forced the bottle down my throat nor the crack pipe in anyones face either.
See problem is I attend meetings & recovery groups 4 days a week, The facilitators & counselors all say addiction is a disease. I belive it’s a choice like I said nobody forced anybody to use. Is it just an excuse not too take responsibility for your actions? And by the wikipedia isn’t a reliable source.
