Self induced? Do you know anything about alcoholism? Alcoholism has been shown to be highly hereditary. People become addicted to alcohol just like any other drug, mentally and physically addicted. It is not all self induced. People that are actual alcoholics started out as innocently as you, but their body, due to heredity, demanded more of it. Its like heroin to them.
Self induced is not the right choice of words.

disease
1. Lack of ease; uneasiness; trouble; vexation; disquiet. "So all that night they passed in great disease." (Spenser) "To shield thee from diseases of the world." (Shak)
2. An alteration in the state of the body or of some of its organs, interrupting or disturbing the performance of the vital functions, and causing or threatening pain and weakness; malady; affection; illness; sickness; disorder; applied figuratively to the mind, to the moral character and habits, to institutions, the state, etc. "Diseases desperate grown, By desperate appliances are relieved." (Shak) "The instability, injustice, and confusion introduced into the public counsels have, in truth, been the mortal diseases under which popular governments have every where perished." (Madison) Disease germ. See Germ.
Synonym: Distemper, ailing, ailment, malady, disorder, sickness, illness, complaint, indisposition, affection. Disease, Disorder, Distemper, Malady, Affection.
Disease is the leading medical term. Disorder mean much the same, with perhaps some slight reference to an irregularity of the system. Distemper is now used by physicians only of the diseases of animals. Malady is not a medical term, and is less used than formerly in literature. Affection has special reference to the part, organ, or function disturbed, as, his disease is an affection of the lungs. A disease is usually deep-seated and permanent, or at least prolonged, a disorder is often slight, partial, and temporary, malady has less of a technical sense than the other terms, and refers more especially to the suffering endured. In a figurative sense we speak of a disease mind, of disordered faculties, and of mental maladies.
Origin: OE. Disese, OF. Desaise; des- (L. Dis-) + aise ease. See Ease.
1. To deprive of ease; to disquiet; to trouble; to distress. "His double burden did him sore disease." (Spenser)
2. To derange the vital functions of; to afflict with disease or sickness; to disorder; used almost exclusively in the participle diseased. "He was diseased in body and mind." (Macaulay)
Origin: Diseased; Diseasing.

While it is true that some people are more easily addicted to alcohol, it is STILL a choice to keep drinking, or dry out.
No matter how heavily one is addicted, the CHOICE is still there.

I've used highly addictive products before but never really became addicted to them. I gave up smokes and chew and never really felt pain over it. And I did use them regularly. My wife is pissed because she can't quit smoking and I made it look so easy...Originally posted by: Amused
I've kicked two of the strongest addictions known to man. Both were hell to go through, but in the end, it was ALL up to me. It was a simple, but agonizing CHOICE to STOP.
In the end, addiction is NOT a disease. It is a choice.

Absolutely 100% wrong. Alcoholics have no choice in the matter of drink on any level, at any time, in any situation. Never did, never will. That goes for before picking up a drink, after picking it up, or before they ever took their first drink.
