A lot of people constantly fret about their lack of ability to overcome their alcohol addiction dilemma even after trying numerous methods recommended by doctors and experts. To me, I believe one or two things are missing in these human beings claims. One of the things I want you to be informed about is that nobody, I repeat, nobody out there can make you quit alcohol if you don't want to. That is the truth that many addicts don't want to hear. Let me use these two situations to explain what I am saying. Let's say, I take you to the top of the highest mountain in the world and ask you to jump down without the use of any tool. Will you? Yes, you are right; you will not jump even for a billion US dollars. Let's look at another. If a house is on fire and I tell you that I will push you into it and you are not trained to fight fire. Will you allow me? Again, you are correct. You will not even if you are given all the gold in the world since you are not going to be alive to enjoy it. What's the summary of these two circumstances?

If you're not determined and decisive, you will not overcome the snag. So, get rid of the bottles from your house and evade gatherings where alcohol is served. For you to do this, I urge you to do away with your alcoholic friends. Get yourself new friends that are not dependent on booze. Additionally, I urge you to politely turn down any request to go to late night parties where you know that alcoholic friends will be served. After doing the above, it is recommended that you get yourself involved in activities that will not arouse your thirst for alcohol. As an instance, you can join social or community groups in your area. Immerse yourself in the activities of this group and you will discover the loss of appetite for bottles of alcohol in you. All I have stated and recommended in this article points to one fact. Without your will, decision and determination, quitting alcohol will become unimaginable for you.

Alcohol: the slow, relentless killer By : David Peters Alcoholism, or alcohol addiction as it is better known, is one of the most widespread diseases that afflict the modern world. With the ever increasing pace of life and the myriad tensions that come along with it, more and more people are turning to the bottle as a respite from the mounting stress of their workplace and social life. However, not many know that alcohol is, in itself, a major cause of all their woes. The reason for this is that alcohol, by nature, is a depressant which means, the more you drink, the more your mind succumbs to the plunging depths of despair, which in turn leads you to drink even more to cope with this depression. And as a result of this vicious cycle, the body of the alcoholic suffers, unable to keep up with the mounting levels of the intoxicant that are poured into it.

Rid yourself of this dangerous disease By : David Peters Alcohol addiction is one of the most widespread and devastating diseases that claims many lives, and wrecks even more homes in its wake. What was one viewed as a mere lack of self control, is now recognized as one of the most severe of maladies, which affects millions of lives around the modern world. And yet, most people continue to shrug off spurts of uncontrollable drinking as "Just a passing phase", or worse, "Alcoholism is something that happens to others not me". It is this notion that many organizations and even governments are struggling to change, as it is this very mindset that precedes the downwards spiral into the murky depths of alcoholism. Alcohol: The Enemy in the bottle By : David Peters Do you find yourself longing for the evening, only to grab a pint of beer or maybe down a few stiffs? Are you the first one to 'raise a toast to that' or propose a celebratory drink? Do you find these occasions where you decide to indulge yourself with just a couple of drinks cropping up a lot more frequently than they used to? If all of these situations sound distinctly familiar, then it's time to take a minute to seriously revaluate those drinking habits. For these are none but the precursors to the most pervasive addiction of the modern era Alcoholism. Alcohol, its real, its a problem By : David Peters The effect of alcoholism varies from one person to the next. But the most common effects are changes in emotional state or stability, behaviour, and personality. Alcoholics may become angry and argumentative, or quiet and withdrawn or depressed. They may also feel more anxious, sad, tense, and confused. They then seek relief by drinking more, not help with their drinking problem, though treatment is readily available. Be Responsible, Stop Drinking By : David Peters You should also make sure that you understand the connection between your drinking and your daily habits. If you normally drink when you are upset or stressed, pay attention to the things that make you upset and try to either eliminate them, or deal with them in a different way. For instance, if you are experiencing stress at work, and usually drink after work, try something else that relieves stress, such as taking a walk after dinner or listening to your favorite music. You can also take advantage of meditation to clear your head and calm yourself down. This may feel strange to you at first but after a while, you will become accustomed to using alternative methods to make yourself feel better. It is also best to substitute drinking with positive activities as soon as possible. Even if you feel that you are just a social drinker and only drink when you are out with friends, you should use things like physical activity, your favorite television show, or spending time with loved ones to replace your tendency to drink. Start pulling your life together By : David Peters People at Alcohol Anonymous will not tell you whether you are an alcoholic or not. So it is up to you to judge if you are one, in case there are any doubts. If you feel the urges or cravings to lay hands on your favorite poison, always end up drinking more than what you wanted to, or are physically dependent on alcohol to get you through the day or the night, then you are what can be termed an alcohol dependent or alcoholic person. Self-supporting: Alcohol Anonymous is a self supporting, non- professional organization that is founded, run and managed by past or even current alcoholics, and everybody is free to join in.

The group's members meet almost every week, where they discuss the problems that they are facing as a result of being alcohol dependent, how they want to kick the habit, how they have managed to get out of the quick sands of alcoholism and what are the positive and negative changes in their lives as a result of alcoholism and as a result of getting rid of it. Recognizing alcoholism as a disease. By : David Peters One of the difficulties in recognizing alcoholism as a disease is it just plain doesn't seem like one. It doesn't look, sound, smell and it certainly doesn't act like a disease. To make matters worse, generally it denies it exists and resists treatment. Alcoholism has been recognized for many years by professional medical organizations as a primary, chronic, progressive and sometimes fatal disease. The National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence offers a detailed and complete definition of alcoholism, but probably the simplest way to describe it is "a mental obsession that causes a physical compulsion to drink." Stopping Drinking: You can do it! By : David Peters Double Fist Your Drinks: If you are drinking an alcoholic beverage it is a great idea to have a glass of water there as well and drink the two together. Drinking the water in between sips of your alcohol can help to keep the concentration of the alcohol down in your blood stream. You are also less likely to have a hangover the next day if you keep hydrated as well. Designate a Driver: If you are going out and plan on drinking, always make sure that someone is designated to drive and that they have no alcohol whatsoever. If there is no designated driver, you should be the responsible one and abstain from drinking. Remember that driving under the influence, no matter how little, can kill. Having responsible drinking habits is very important if you are planning to consume alcohol. Being responsible while drinking can keep you healthy, keep you out of embarrassing situations, and most important of all - it can save your life. Help with stopping drinking By : Dan Feildman The overuse or abuse of alcohol (alcoholism) or other drugs is called substance abuse. It is common and costly.

Stop Drinking: its the best option for your health By : David Peters The addiction is always stronger than the desire to quit. But, it can be done. I did it. I have been sober for thirteen years. I got tired of blackouts and hangovers and acting like someone I'm not when I'm without alcohol. I knew I wanted to stop, but I had no clue how.

If you let the seriously sober men and women help you, you can beat this addiction. You don't have to be afraid to go to meetings, some of the nicest people I have ever met came from inside those rooms. There is a silent camaraderie among fellow drunks, and we are more alike than different. There is a humbleness and an honesty that goes with trying to quit an addiction, and we all shared it. It's the only place you can get your own sponsor who will work the steps with you, and share their experiences, hopes and dreams. They are usually men and women who have been in the program for a while, and can help you with the skills they learned, and turn around and teach you.
