re you an alcoholic?
Not such a simple question. That one word “ALCOHOLIC” is absolutely loaded with tragedy. It screams failure, loser, wife-beater.
Drunk, lush, bum, wino, stewbelly, swillpot, tosspot, inebriate, barfly, and drunkard are all bedfellows of the alcoholic.
It is probably the worst kind of addiction that you could ever have…you are accepted legally in almost every town in the civilized world. The druggie has to hide, the smoker has to go outside, and the gambler…he can just hide the amount he loses.
But you can do your thing in full view of the public. Down to the pub…get drunk, get plastered. Stagger, reel, and pass out.
When is it time to stop? When is it time to admit what you are doing?
Do you need to admit anything? How do you KNOW?
I’ll tell you. Stop drinking for a month. If you can do that without any problems, you just passed the test. Are you an alcoholic?
Alcohol can pick up a person’s whole life and smash it up like an empty whiskey bottle. The only people not affected by alcoholics are those that don’t know them. That is because the alcoholic truly wreaks havoc all around them. I know. I was there. I was both the victim and the perpetrator.
The only way to stop the rot is to stop the drinking. It’s as simple, or as tough, as that.
If you are a heavy drinker, alcohol detox is going to be one of the hardest things you ever did in your life. You are not alone. Many millions of people have gone through it and come out the other end. The first thing you must do is admit you have a problem. You must admit this to yourself first…only then can you begin to heal yourself.
I found many, many underlying problems in my life when I finally stopped drinking. These are things that had been well hidden for years. Things I never wanted to face again. But, therein lays the truth. I had to face the truth…and so do you.
Fortunately, because this disease is so widespread, and so costly if left untreated, you will find many avenues through which you can travel in search of your healing. Some are going to cost you a fortune. Others will be given to you for free. Only you can know which route is for you.
I wish you good luck in your search my friend.
