Alcoholics tend to think on a good day that they want to give up drinking alcohol, but the reality is that they will have to stop drinking alcohol forever. We have all heard of social drinking and social smoking and these very concepts often make the decision of giving up alcohol just that bit more appealing. The reason being is that alcohol still controls their line of thought, so you are on already heading up a slippery slope and the eventual goal of giving up alcohol is far over the horizon.

Many alcoholics though do see this option as a way out, but soon find out that they haven’t got the strength to carry on and revert back to previous drinking habits. A few alcoholics do though actually manage, but the question we have to ask ourselves is whether they really were alcoholics, or just alcohol abusers or addicts.

The overwhelming view in the rehab world is that it is impossible for an alcoholic to control their drinking habits for more than 24 hours and that the condition of alcoholism would get even worse as they realize that they really don’t have a way out and they need to forget that, resulting in consuming even more alcohol.

A true alcoholic who believes that just one more drink won’t make any difference will fall flat on their face at the first hurdle, exactly what happened to a friend of mine. Unfortunately he is still an alcoholic and still regrets having taken that fatal drink. It has served me in realising at first hand that this myth really doesn’t help in any way at all, and that an alcoholic will always have to say no to alcohol.

I also heard of a female alcohol that managed to stop drinking alcohol due to her pregnancy. She was so happy with herself and she had a beautiful baby girl. Her husband brought out a bottle of champagne on her home coming to celebrate the special occasion, but from that moment on their happiness disappeared as quickly as it arrived.

These stories can be heard on every street corner, as alcoholism stretches all over the planet as the result of being the perfect tax generator for our greedy governments. If you need help as an alcoholic, don’t go to them for help as they are only interested in your money. What you need is independent advice from people who have managed to overcome the disease of alcoholism and whose only wish now is to help other people who need support to stop drinking alcohol.
