Something you must know and distinguish if you are to be successful long term.

Physical dependence is real, and in extreme cases can be somewhat dangerous.

However, 'addiction' is made up bullshit as are the terms 'alcoholism' and 'alcoholic'.

Drinking and/or drugging ARE A CHOICE, A BAD BEHAVIOR, not a symptom of some disease. There is no disease involved.

If you don't learn this, you will fail. Period. Quite possible by necking yourself or literally drinking your self to death.

Avoid the disease concept like the plague of death that it is. Rooted in 12 step programs and the like it is a recipe for suicide.

Yes, calling it a 'disease' is fake and gay, getting high or drunk is a choice. Millions have chosen to quit. One cannot choose to stop having a real disease like cancer.
