Default Re: The \"disease\" of alcoholism.

I am a recovering alcoholic, have been clean for 25yrs.

I read somewhere that alcoholism progresses in the body even after one has quit drinking. It went on to explain that if you drank for 15 years, quit for 10, and had a drink, that drink would affect your mind and body as if you had been drinking steady for 25 years. If that is true, that would lend credence to the disease theory, I would think.
