as it's a myth that alcoholism is just genetic

They have NOT isolated a gene. It may only be genetic in the hard sense that everything is genetic. I also think we’re too liberal with the word addiction and it cheapens the pain of withdrawing from real (for lack of a better word) addiction.
The correct language for alcoholism is elusive and unfortunately AA is intent on sticking with stupid archaic language.
I used to think I had a pretty clear understanding of the nature of addiction but now I realize I know very little.
