Absolutely, and I'm so glad the general public realizes it, it's hard enough to treat without the outdated notion of just blaming the addict/alcoholic and acting like it's a character deficit. Women still have more of a problem with the disease and treatment, because they are in so much denial and can't stand to admit to anyone they are an alcoholic. To anyone struggling with the disease, it isn’t your fault, and I hope you seek the treatment you need, there is help out there, and sometimes it can take many repeated treatments, but don’t give up. As they say it's a journey, not a destination.
