I don't often get the chance to post here, and I'm certainly not trying to cause a brouhaha - I'm genuinely interested.

I've seen references here that seem to suggest alcoholism as a sin, and something that could be repented at communion - why would someone repent their alcoholism?

Repent their drunken actions sure, repent the harm done to ourselves and others through our alcoholism - fine, but alcoholism itself ?

Do some churches -some christians - still see alcoholism as a moral weakness ? Or have I totally misread here?
