How to Overcome Alcoholism

Overcoming AlcoholismAlcoholism is an involuntary, primary disease that can be diagnosed and treated.

The treatment of alcoholism is not curable, however the disease may be arrested. The treatment of alcoholism includes physical, psychological, social, and spiritual dimensions.

Alcoholics and addicts are very vulnerable to the abuse of mood altering drugs. This behavior is trading one drug for another or in some cases mixing drugs.

The National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence as started in 1944 in New York City by people concerned about the lack of information and education about alcoholism. Recognizes that…..it is a highly treatable disease and the alcoholic is worth treating.

SO HERE IT IS

To have a lasting change, we need to have a transformation. THAT IS a WHOLE change which includes body, mind, and spirit.

NOW WE KNOW

It affects our BODY physically. It affects our MIND mentally. It affects our SPIRIT,
what we think and feel about ourselves.

WHAT DO WE DO

Stop drinking. Stop using.

It is important to not just stopping using RX or alcohol and it might require medical help. If you feel you are at risk call 911, call your medical doctor, or go to the nearest Emergency Room.

Once you STOP you must START with an Action Program.

JUST STOPPING IS NOT ENOUGH

It’s time to get busy and take on the issues pertaining to the mind, will and other emotions. It is not time to sweep our problems under the rug.

The greatest effectiveness in the recovery process and therapy tool is the reality of the spiritual realm.
