Alcoholism is the inability to control or ignore a strong craving for alcohol. People suffering from alcoholism often find that they need the aid of alcohol to feel good or normal. Alcoholics as well as addicts are told to give up trying to use their own power, to admit powerlessness and depend on a higher power to help them.
