Default The disease of alcoholism...

I was watching the morning news and they started talking about the Miss America woman that Trump almost took over her crown from...well, she just left rehab and she says something to the affect of: "And yes, I do suffer from the disease of alcholism."

I know that alcholism is rough...it destroys lives and ruins relationships. But, is it a disease? I need the thoughts of the doctors and others to help me out here. I have heard it referred to as a disease for a while but in my uneducated mind, I have never thought of it as a disease. I see it as an addiction. Am I wrong and is it really a disease? Just wondering what everyone's thought was on this.
