I believe that alcoholism is not a disease, but rather a dis-ease.
The term dis-ease is often used by holistic healing individuals and communities who are aligned with health and wellness. The emphasis is placed on the natural state of "ease" being imbalanced or disrupted, rather than a particular ailment or illness.
If addiction is placing you in a state of disruption or imbalance , you would be at dis-ease with yourself, or your life.
