Alcohol Help

Alcohol Help is here for you,
if you want it!

Alcohol help is a big decision and it is something you will need to commit to if you want change. I realize that having a problem with alcohol or drugs is not fun. It seems you are on a never ending cycle of dread, regrets, self loathing and humiliation. I can go into all the bad feelings you have on a daily basis, although what good would it do. You already feel terrible or you would not be here. 

I will say this, your family and friends do not want to see you throw your life away. Know this, it will only get worst. This merry-go-round you are on will keep spinning unless you get off.

Like I teach on this website it is cause and effect, what you do today will affect tomorrow. 

There are many programs and recovery centers that can help. It just depends on what your personal needs are. Alcoholics Anonymous is a tested program that has been around for decades {1935} and is still successful.

I get the fact that someone reading this is also in part denial. If the thought has entered your mind that you may have a problem explore it. Getting sober is not easy. The hardest part might just be convincing yourself that your life will be better sober. Everybody I have come in contact with that has gotten alcohol help and gotten sober has a much improved life. After sobriety working on your spirituality becomes much easier.

I will say that gaining your self respect back will be worth it. It will be hard, frustrating, fearful, painful (emotionally) and you will probably wish you had not started to get sober, but I promise it will be worth it. 

I would also like to say no matter whichever avenue you choose to get sober, remember that this is just a starting point. You will need new interests and probably new friends. 

Below is the 12 step program. Please remember we are already perfect and we are as humans striving to realize this. No matter what we do in life as long as comes from a pure place of LOVE, we will be okay.

ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS has been around for a long time, so it does work. Read this small foreword from there 1st edition.

This is a small sample of there ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS book:

"MOST OF us have been unwilling to admit we were real alcoholics. No person likes to think he is bodily and mentally different from his fellows. Therefore, it is not surprising that our drinking careers have been characterized by countless vail attempts to prove we could drink like other people. The idea that somehow, someday he will control and enjoy his drinking is the great obsession of every abnormal drinker. The persistence of this illusion is astonishing. Many pursue it into the gates of insanity or death. We learned that we had to fully concede to our innermost selves that we were alcoholics. This is the first step in recovery. The delusion that we are like other people, or presently may be, has to be smashed. We alcoholics are men and women who have lost the ability to control our drinking. We know that no real alcoholic ever recovers control. All of us felt at times that we were regaining control, but such intervals—usually brief—were inevitably followed by still less control, which led in time to pitiful and incomprehensible demoralization. We are convinced to a man that alcoholics of our type are in the grip of a progressive illness. Over any considerable period we get worse, never better. We are like men who have lost their legs; they never grow new ones. Neither does there appear to be any kind of treatment which will make alcoholics Neither does there appear to be any kind of treatment which will make alcoholics of our kind like other men. We have tried every imaginable remedy. In some instances there has been brief recovery, followed always by a still worse relapse. Physicians who are familiar with alcoholism agree there is no such thing as making a normal drinker out of an alcoholic. Science may one day accomplish this, but it hasn’t done so yet."

THE TWELVE STEPS OF ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS

1. We admitted we were powerless over alcohol—that our lives had become unmanageable.

2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.

3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.

4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.

5. Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.

6. Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.

7. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.

8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.

9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.

10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.

11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.

12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.
