It is a dependence on alcohol and the loss of control over one's drinking. This loss of control may develop over a long period of time, or it may happen right from the start of a person's drinking. When a person continues to drink despite the fact that it causes serious psycholigical, physical, or social promblems, alcoholism is already present. Like other illnesses, alcoholism interferes and sometimes destroys the lives of those around them, like their family, friends, and employers. Help can be provided by a doctor, a clinic, a psychologists or psychiatrists, or by the local chapter of Alcoholic Anonymous, a self help group.
