Question: Do you think that self-control can confront addiction and make addiction to alcohol specifically be eradicated?

Potentially, for some people it could make an absolute massive change! But our self control isn’t the only underlying cause, alcohol addiction can result from: trauma, stress, genetics, environment all interacting together with a person’s personality. Every diagnosis is different, some may just have alcohol addiction, others may have depression alongside it for example so would need a different treatment plan. Over all probably not, alongside counselling and pharmacotherapy treatments though it could make a big difference.
