Alcoholism is a mental health disorder and a disease, correct?

The Big Book actually refers to resentments as being the thing from which stems all forms of spiritual disease. That is the only reference to Alcoholism being labeled as a disease. It is an illness. The word spiritual is important. It kinda changes the definition. The word disease in my opinion is used loosely to describe a condition. If alcoholism was strictly just a disease then science alone could cure it. It is a spiritual malady which IMO needs a spiritual solution.
