Verified answer

A dipsomaniac is a drunkard.

A nymphomaniac is a person who compulsively engages in sex although deriving little pleasure from it.

Most dipsomaniacs are alcoholics, and that character cannot be changed, according to AA. Some of them, however, are able to stop drinking.

Psychologists have tried a number of therapies on nymphomaniacs, but none with any great success. Sometimes compulsive-behavior meds, brain surgery or electro-convulsive therapy has lessened the compulsion, but the side effects of those therapies have generally proven quite unacceptable. There is a high suicide rate for nymphomaniacs.

..."AA" might help the "dipso"... only I can help the "nynfo"...
