Almost certainly, anyone who calls themselves "alcoholic" should probably give Alcoholics Anonymous a try. However, alcoholism is not a disease and AA isn't the only answer.

You left out the phrase "in my opinion" from your very strong opinion statement that alcoholism is not a disease. You could qualify your opinion, such as "in my professional opinion as a psychologist", or "in my layperson opinion through my experience with people who believe they are alcoholics". Or even better perhaps "in my opinion as someone who thought I was addicted, I solved my problem this way...".

Try harder.
