When did those become diseases?

What next? Support groups for people who suffer from those “maladies”. Oh geez…there is already “Overeater Anonymous” and I am sure plenty of people who seek “treatment” for their. er, sex addiction (A better description would be someone who is “easy” instead….call it what it is.).

Try cancer, MS and Lupus (Note: you said diseases “people have” not ones that ALL people have…..)

Drinking is a destructive addiction. The alcoholic not only has concerns of themselves but their loved ones, as well. There is a constant “want” to stop drinking. However, most often, without the proper knowledge, the temptation to drink overcomes the alcoholic and the alcoholic picks up the bottle.

Alcoholics have an abundance of help. There is Alcoholic Anonymous and many support groups which can be found. However, many alcoholics do not reach to groups to help overcome their addiction, as it is, admitting another failure in their life. The bottom line is that the drinker has to want to quit and must know the steps to take.

Knowing how to stop drinking is essential for every alcoholic. There are steps that must be taken to control the habit and get the alcoholic to put down the bottle. Every alcoholic wants to quit drinking. With knowing how to stop drinking, each alcoholic can stop drinking.

It is not easy to stop drinking. Drinking is an addiction and one that each day the alcoholic craves the taste of the alcohol. However, with time, the cravings stop and the alcoholic is back to a normal life. There are seven easy steps that drinkers who want to stop can follow to begin their addiction free lifestyle.

Write notes to yourself, talk to yourself, telling yourself that you can beat the addiction.

Determine your cycle. Each alcoholic has a cycle. Do you drink nightly with the boys? Do you drink alone? Do you drink when you are depressed? Consider how it is influencing your life and the negative impact it has and begin to make the necessary changes to break the cycle of drinking.

List the benefit of not drinking. A healthier you! A happier you! A functional you!

Always award yourself with positive reminders. Let yourself know that you are doing terrific. Remind yourself each day of the advantage of not drinking.

Remind yourself of the negative factors, as well. How the alcohol affects your life, and your health.

Start new routines. Replace the alcohol with new routines. Begin to feel life again and enjoy it.

You have only one life, and the future is yours. By following the seven steps above, you are taking control of your addiction and bettering yourself. Drinking is not an easy addiction to overcome. However, millions of Americans have overcome addiction and are living an alcohol free lifestyle. The benefits are undeniable. With the will and dedication, every alcoholic can stop drinking.

Question by Meghan W.: General addiction support?
I have what I believe to be an addiction, but it does not fall into the regular “groups” (Drugs, Alcohol, Sex/Porn, etc). Are there any general addiction support groups where I could seek peer aid?

It’s kinda hard to help if we don’t know what the addiction is. But there might be a support group for it. Maybe try googling it instead.
