Alcoholism is a disease. Understanding alcoholism is vital since there is a great deal miss communication and misinterpretation about the disease. Alcoholism is not curable. It is not the result of weak willpower. Well intentioned people (just like me) thought I just had to try harder and exercise more willpower to manage my drinking. Alcoholics try to quit. Alcoholics fail. Alcoholics make promises and really try to keep their promises to cut back, slow down, moderation or quit, but they can't. Alcoholics continue to disregard the fact, they cannot quit on their own. Alcoholics continue to justify why they need to drink. For example, a stressful day, death in the family, financial problems, relationship problems, I deserve a treat. Anything! An individual either has alcoholism or they don't. And if a person has the disease of alcoholism, they will never have the ability to drink alcohol like a normal person; ever.
1. Point one is having almost no capacity to limit or control drinking after starting. An alcoholic fails constantly at keeping their drinking under control despite the very best intentions. Any apparent control is often rare and usually non-existent. There is no shut off valve. General regret about drinking way too much alcohol the following morning is a common occurrence This over-drinking, shame and regret, remorse, depression is all too common. Normal drinkers don't do this.
2. Alcoholics have an abnormal obsession to alcohol. A ongoing preoccupation to drinking is how I would best describe it. Drinking alcohol is part of an alcoholic's existence. Ongoing everyday an alcoholics is planning around the next drink. An alcoholic is usually thinking about it. For example when can i drink next, simply how much I'll drink, when will I purchase it, simply how much I'll buy. An alcoholic doesn't always drink constantly however the thought of it is almost always on the mind. Normal customers don't do this.
Once we feel the pressures in life our alcoholic brains are wired to drink alcohol. We must control our thinking to make sure that we prevent acquiring alcohol therefore our alcoholism should be managed daily. Our willingness to pick up alcohol, knowing all the problems is causes us is probably the most insane factor about alcoholism. Drinking is a result of much much deeper rooted problems. Searching for these root problems is vital for lengthy sober living. For instance constant thirst for acceptance and approval our search for purpose and direction and understand about feelings of insignificance and inadequate security need our deep reflection.
