Addiction is a complex disease to understand. It can affect the brain and the body and you can be addicted to a substance or an activity. There have been suggestions that addiction can be genetic. It can cause harm to your families, ruin relationships and put jobs in danger.

Alcoholism is the addiction to consuming alcohol and the inability to manage how much of it you are having. Alcoholism is the dependency of alcohol and often feeling like they can not go without it and suffers will often put it above everything else in their life.
