		<description>I didn&#039;t know that there is much debate about the exact definition of alcoholism, but the information that I read here - reading it made me discover some new stuff. I did actually know someone who suffered from alcohol addiction, however he did overcome this thanks to his devoted family that send him to rehabilitation.</description>

		<description>One thing to consider about addiction is that we say that one is addicted when he has a tendency to increase dose, obsession to consume and when he is dangerous to the society.</description>

		<description>Alcohol addiction is simply defined as a compulsive need for an intoxicating liquid including beer, wine and other hard liquors. It is very pleasant to drink and in particular gives a festive flavor to special occasions. Unfortunately, it also seriously affects the brain as it can give an illusion of relaxation, freedom from cares and responsibilities, and in particular emotional pain. This is where the trap lies, and what makes it so easy to become addicted to alcohol. Even for those who have no particular problems and just drink for enjoyment, it is amazing how quickly the choice of whether to drink or not to drink gradually turns into an overwhelming need to drink. This change is so subtle that the victim is not even aware that this is happening and that he now has a dependency on alcohol or also known as alcoholism.</description>

		<description>Wow that was the most indepth definition I&#039;ve seen in a long time.  And I do agree that it is very progressive.  You don&#039;t become an alcoholic overnight.  Other than cancer, I think that alcoholism/drug use is the worst disease.  Not only does it destroy your body, it destroys your relationships, your job...just everything that has ever mattered to you.</description>

		<description>Alcohol addiction  is a progressive and debilitating disease. Although most people who drink do not become alcoholic, at least 15% of those who do are at risk for developing a serious problem which impacts relationships, health, work and the quality of life. 

Life Works understands that the effects of this illness can feel overwhelming.

		<description>For some people in recovery, addiction is defined by the inability to stop using without resorting to outside help.

In other words, if a person can quit on their own, then they are not addicted.  I personally disagree with this idea but it is very prevalent in traditional recovery circles.  People tend to define addiction by what is required to overcome it.
