I would like to pull this back on-topic.

Is alcoholism a disease like cancer or not?

Like cancer?
If a person is diagnosed with cancer; they'll be directed to chemotherapy, surgery, radiation therapy, amputation, etc.
If a person is diagnosed with alcoholism, they'll be directed to some sort of meeting.
So, alcoholism is not like cancer at all.

Its not like there aren't medications and treatment plans for alcoholism.
To fix your analogy: If someone is diagnosed with cancer they will be sent to someone who will lay on hands and light some incense.
