I’ve read a couple of books about reducing/quitting alcohol. Both have touched on the topic of alcoholism not being a disease and we are ‘othering’ people by believing this.
Does anyone have any recommendations for reading or podcasts that talk about this further?
Ive just read Adrian Chiles book and the bit that resonated is when he talks about someone who might only smoke 5 a day but we’d still say these people are addicted. But we don’t think the same way about people who drink a bit, ie less than the stereotypical alcoholic.
