I personally don't think it matters if it's a disease or not. I know my father's father was an alcoholic, my dad wasn't, as far as I could ever see, and both my brother and I have had problems with alcohol. What matters most is getting treatment whether AA, Lifering, SMARTRecovery, Rational Response, or something else. And no one method is better than another if they help someone. I just wanted to get people's response on whether or not they thought it was a disease, thanks...
