Alcoholism is very different than casual alcohol use. Ttheir brain recognizes alcohol as an important component to their biological well-being and causes them to impulsively seek out the drug regardless of the consequences.

For an alcoholic to stop drinking they require intense therapy and they need to want help. If they don’t want to stop drinking, then they are going to complete any program. If an alcoholic tries to stop drinking cold turkey, withdrawal symptoms are really bad.
