That's semantics. An alcoholic who doesn't drink still has the potential to be an alcoholic.

As does a non alcoholic, just takes the right exposure, stress, break down of belief's.

no...an alcoholic is an alcoholic. An alcoholic who doesn't drink is a sober alcoholic. An alcoholic doesn't wake up the next day and say.." I think I won't be an alcoholic today."
A homosexual is a homosexual. A homosexual who doesn't engage in homosexual acts is a celibate homosexual not a heterosexual.
A homosexual doesn't become a heterosexual any more than you can wake up tomorrow and say " I think I will be a homosexual today" ( this is assumes you are a heterosexual of course.)
