Help please! is alcoholism really an incurable disease?

Not that I think: Granted, long term use of alcohol can result in permanent damage such as liver cirrhosis, and cerebellar atrophy, but, if handled in a timely fashion, especially with working a an alcoholics anonymous setting, outcomes should be often highly successful, and control achieved. Meds are available to ease the process. Work closely with your doctor.

Incurable in sense -: In the same way diabetes is not cured but can be very well managed. Alcoholics can lose the craving entirely. Working a program, continuing practical and spiritual steps of the big book, maintaining contact with a sponsor, and being involved in meetings and service. Such work enlarges a person and grows their character, lessening chances for relapse. Risk remains but life can be wonderful.
