Alcoholism - The Grief of Addiction by Buddy W. M.S. (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781667129150)

If you are struggling with your drinking in any capacity, questioned your relationship with alcohol, or are wondering if you should quit or may need to quit, you will understand what I am about to say: Quitting is freaking terrifying. Of course, just asking these self-analyzing questions are strong clues of a problem if we are honest with ourselves, though few alcoholics are. For starters, we have a love/hate relationship with alcohol - and you are afraid of losing the part of alcohol you love. The problem is, as your alcoholism continues to progress; your life will ultimately feel like you have just entered the gates of hell. An estimated 88,000 people die from alcohol-related causes annually, making alcohol the third leading preventable cause of death in the United States. Smoking cigarettes is first. If you are like I was, you are within a psychological trap. At first, alcohol is a sequence of use that initially supplies tremendous coping relief from troublesome difficulties and issues. There is a pleasure or euphoria from alcohol. It starts out as fun and relaxing. However, as use continues, the addiction becomes more like a daily crutch. In the latter stages, alcoholism becomes a focus that overpowers all affairs and concerns. This lifestyle focuses on obtaining, preparing, and indulging in alcohol to the detriment of every aspect of our life. If you are reading this because you believe you may have a problem, chances are you do, and take it from me, left ignored, your condition does not get better as we all hope it will, it gets worse and worse. Alcoholism is a progressive disease eventually becoming a living nightmare. But there is a way out. In the pages that follow, you will get a definitive understanding on the causes of alcoholism and how to arrest your problem. This book is founded on evidence-based research and holds a ton of useful information to help you move forward into permanent recovery. To help you with this, this book is thoroughly indexed at the back for explicit referencing when you need to research techniques and goals. This is very important and refreshing when you become discouraged or feel a relapse coming on.
