ALCOHOLISM
Moving Into Recovery


Welcome!!

Nobody sets out to deal with alcoholism. People don't just decide to abuse alcohol. Being a "problem drinker" is not on the list of things to accomplish.

Alcoholism

Some people may try a drink for the first time, just to party or be a part of the crowd. Some people might turn to drinking to “drown their sorrows.” Many kids go to college and learn to "binge drink" with their friends. Whatever the case, people certainly do not expect the misery that comes with addiction.

Now just because a person drinks does not mean they are an alcoholic. Abuse and addiction are different. For now think of addiction as an advanced form of abuse. This site is devoted to trying to help find ways of dealing with these conditions. It is designed to give useful information that will help people learn to make better decisions.

The key to dealing with any addiction-related disease is having the right information. You need information to recognize and understand what is going on inside yourself, your family, your friends and your community.

This site is for you if:

- Your family is suffering from the strain of a loved one’s drinking and you don’t know what to do

- A friend is struggling with drinking and you want to know how to help - You have questions about excessive drinking and addiction and need honest answers about treatment and recovery, or preventative measures in your community

- You’re struggling with a serious health problem and you need help!!

Our goal with this site is to provide information that will be beneficial to your recovery or for you to help others recover. If you want to help a friend or loved one with this problem, we hope the information in this site will help you be a source of support and strength.

We’ll give you useful information and connect you with the right resource to answer your questions.


Don't Wait... Start Now!

Are you or your loved one struggling with alcohol abuse?
The first step to recovery and sanity is to take action now!
Please consider using this at-home guide to help you or your loved one confidentially deal with the alcohol abuse:

Click here to learn what you can do today!


Listen to Recovery Now!

Recovery Now! is a weekly radio show to help you learn how to STOP Drinking using the 12-Step process. Click here to listen to Today's Show!...

How can this site help you?

On this site you will get useful information and begin your journey back to health. We have divided the topic into bite-sized pieces, to help you sift through the volumes of written material on the subject.

We believe we are body, mind and spirit, and each of those need to be treated in order for recovery to take place.

This site contains five MAIN pages that EVERYONE should read:

ABOUT... SYMPTOMS... CAUSES... TREATMENT... RECOVERY...

Read these five pages and learn what you need to know to spot alcohol abuse:

Yourself... Your Family... Your Friends... Your Community...

The rest of the pages are there for your reference to explain important topics in more detail.

Finally don’t miss the Spiritual and 12-step sections to fully explore how understanding THE SPIRIT can lead to recovery!

Addiction is a disease of the spirit

Alcoholism is a disease of the spirit. We have “lost control”, and alcohol has taken control of our lives. Because any addiction is a spiritual disease, if you are going to be healed, your spirit must also be healed. You can try to overcome this on your own, and many people are able to do this, but some are not. There are a variety of ways to overcome alcoholism, abuse or addiction. But as AA wrote, to overcome it takes a “power greater than ourselves”.

People in recovery will tell you that one drink is too many and a whole ocean-full of drinks isn’t enough.

There is no cure!

Is there a cure for alcoholism? The short answer is no, mainly because the determining factors that led to a person’s condition don’t change. But people can manage the problem and lead a healthy, long and productive life.

Addiction does not have to be the winner, but those suffering need the tools to access strength and support. You have to be honest with yourself and realistic about the problem. Addicts need to realize they can’t take a drink, because the consequences are serious at the very minimum, and too often deadly.

There is hope.

Our hope is that the information about over drinking on this web site, and the links to various resources around the country, will help you in your path to healing.

Hopefully you will benefit from this website!

Listed below are the topics covered by this site. Please read the information and use it to help learn HOW to overcome addiction before it destroys you and your family’s life!
