Alcoholism
Alcoholism is a chronic progressive disease that makes you dependent on alcohol. A drinking problem can cause you to be unable to control your drinking, even though your need for a drink is causing problems with your personal relationships, your health, work and finances. |

Alcohol abuse
You can have a problem with alcohol, but not display every characteristic of alcoholism. With "alcohol abuse" you aren't dependent on alcohol and haven't fully lost your control over the use of alcohol. But you still have an alcohol problem.
Alcoholism is a treatable disease
Alcoholism is a treatable disease. Medications, counseling and alcohol rehab are among the therapies/treatments that can provide support to help you to recover from alcoholism.
Treatment Works!
Treatment for alcoholism works. There are different levels of success when it comes to treatment though. Many people stop drinking and remain sober their whole lives, while other people have long periods of abstinence with an occasional relapse. And still others just continue drinking. One thing we have learned from treating alcohics is: The longer a person abstains from alcohol, the more likely he or she will be able to stay sober their whole lives.
