But certainly it is much harder for an alcoholic to stop drinking, than for me to stop putting sugar in coffee or tea? I actually did that 15 years ago because I was too lazy to buy sugar. It tasted strange for 4-5 cups, then I was accustomed.

Alcohol is very addictive. Its one of the few drugs that can actually kill you on cold turkey. Your body will sign that it wants it and it feels very bad.

I generally tried to explain what addiction is and what it feels like. It really depends on the matter.
