FYI, alcoholics are some of thw wprst kind of addicts. At leasy those of us using hard drugs could admit we were addicts. The alcoholics kept crying 'But its legal, im not an addict!!! I dont need to be here!!' All the while their livers were failing, they were shaking so bad that they couldnt talk/hold their coffee mugs, and they were having seizures/pissing themselves/hallucinating and almost having heart attacks from their blood pressure being through the roof.
