A Young Lady Attempts to Stop Drinking, Suffers From Alcohol Withdrawals, Realizes That She is an Alcohol Addicted Person, and Comes to a Decision to Seek Alcohol Detoxification and Alcohol Therapy
November 3rd, 2009 | 
Author: Jennifer is a forty-two-year-old accounting clerk who has been drinking in an irresponsible and hazardous manner since her fiancée and she broke off their relationship. In truth, for the past six months she has been drinking very nearly one-and-a-half bottles of wine every night, and on the weekends she also has been drinking several wine coolers during the day. In a word, Jennifer has been drinking so hazardously and abusively that it’s a miracle that she hasn’t suffered from alcohol poisoning.
After feeling dispirited because she was starting to let her health go downhill, Jennifer at long last told herself that she’s had enough, that it’s time to quit the self pity act, that it’s time to stop the irresponsible and excessive drinking, and time to make a new start with her life. So the next Saturday morning at 9:00 AM, she decided to quit drinking completely and suddenly without preparation or planning.
What I Learned About Alcohol Dependency and Drug Addiction in High School
When I was a sophomore in high school, I enrolled into a drug abuse class. At that age, I did not understand that alcohol abuse in reality was a sub division of drug abuse. While taking this class and learning more about drug and alcohol abuse and above all about alcohol side effects, I read a lot about Alcoholic Anonymous, their meetings, how their programs have twelve steps, and how successful the Alcoholics Anonymous recovery program has been for individuals all through the world. I also learned a lot about alcohol treatment and the different alcohol rehab clinics that are regularly available to alcohol abusers.
Harmful Effects That are Linked to Alcoholism and Alcohol Abuse
Alcohol Relapse, Dishonesty, and Enabling
It is interesting to articulate something that family members who have been negatively affected by the alcohol addiction of another family member clearly do not know. It seems to be that by shielding the alcohol addicted person with untruths and deceit to those outside the family, these well-intentioned family members have actually created a situation that makes it easier for the alcoholic to persist and go forward with his or her hurtful, destructive style of life.
To be sure, rather than helping the alcohol addicted person and themselves, these family members have in truth become enablers who have involuntarily helped negatively affect the alcohol addicted person’s drinking problem even more.
