Application of Seligman's Theory-Alcoholism

An application of Martin Seligman's theory of Learned Helplessness would be alcoholism. People who consume alcohol, have no idea of the consequences it can have emotionally, of health, or even socially. People who consume alcohol or have alcoholism problems, believe they are like that for a reason.
These people who consume alchohol and cannot handle living without it, believe they are alcoholic because their families, or friends behave that way. They have learned to behave helplessly because they think that just because their families are that way, and that no matter what they do, it is just the way they are, they way they have always been.
