Alcohol Treatment
by Ray Gallagher
At some time, people who are addicted to alcohol may have to seek treatment, either on their own, with encouragement from their families, or because it is ordered by employers, the military, or the courts. There are many treatment options available, and as said previously, it depends on what type of circumstance exists requiring the alcoholic to seek treatment. Such options include meetings with others, such as Alcoholics Anonymous, or AA, individual counseling, outpatient treatment, inpatient treatment, medications, or a combination of treatment modalities, which is most common. Stopping cold turkey is also an option, but is usually not realistic, unless combined with a support environment like AA. People seeking alcohol treatment usually do so because they are at rock bottom, and many instances where alcohol has disrupted their lives and the lives of their loved ones has occurred. Treatment will not work unless the individual truly wants help.
Many alcohol treatment programs are based on the 12-step program, which is used in Alcoholics Anonymous. In this type of setting, alcoholics are encouraged to be open and share experiences, but are not required to do so. Tons of literature is available at these meetings for a nominal price or for a donation, and a variety of topics are discussed relating to the alcoholic’s individual situation. Those who are serious about quitting must seek out a sponsor, which will help them through their recovery process. This person is available to them in case they are having a weak moment or if they just need words of encouragement.
Alcohol treatment programs are designed to get the person back on track physically and emotionally, so that they can face their addiction and gain control of their lives. Self-esteem and self-worth is greatly distorted by the addiction, and treatment interventions include group and individual therapy to get at the root of the trauma which may have caused the cycle to begin in the first place. The alcoholic must discover what causes them to drink, why they can’t stop, and what counter measures they can use when these triggers occur. Recovering alcoholics may also benefit from prescribed medications, such as anti-depressants or anti-anxiety drugs to help them control they physical symptoms of withdrawal, which can only be prescribed by a medical doctor or psychiatrist.

Recovery takes time and with the proper support and motivation, alcoholics can be successful and remain alcohol-free for the rest of their lives. Often times the alcohol is replaced by another substance, but this is not always a bad thing. The most common is coffee or caffeine and cigarettes. Food is also another common vice, but as every person seeking treatment is told, one thing at a time. It is just not possible to conquer every issue at once. The most serious should be addressed first, then everything else will fall in place. Take one day at a time, one hour at a time, one minute at a time, this is the best recipe for long-term success.
This is not a substitute for professional medical advice. Seek the guidance of a licensed physician if you need medical advice.

This is for Janice! I am a recovering alcoholic and I am married to a non-drinker. It was very hard for her at times but she never realy complained and stuck eith me and today she is one of my biggest supporters. He or she will not quit untill they are ready or hit rock-bottom. It may be hard but try to stick with them and support them the best they can. If they can get them to an AA mtg, thats a great start although it may not work at first but “the seed is planted.” they may also want to find an Alnon mtg. to find further support.

Hello,
Am 6 months clean and sober. I have teenagers and young children. I don’t have AA in my community yet. My teenager moved out of the house already. We don’t have AA in our community yet. I live on an Indian reservation. I have to travel 30 minutes to make a meeting. I want to know more about online meetings when I can’t get a babysitter.

I was married to a man who turned into an alcholic. We were together 26 years and have 9 beautiful children together. I loved him very much. I had no choice but to leave him, not only was he drinking to much, but he was also doing drugs. I don’t drink and I had done everything I could to get him to stop! Finally had to seperate,thinking and being told this might help, because I was enabling him. Well it didn’t! He is so bad now he has ceasures, halucinations,and other symtoms. The guilt is overwhelming for me, because I think maybe I should have done more,not knowing what else to do. Can anyone tell me if there was some thing else I could have done? I still try to help but it only makes him think we can get back together. Then when I tell him no he drinks more!

I have someone who would benefit speaking to others regarding their alcohol abuse. However, this person is home bound and unable to leave. Is there a chat room or something on that order that they could log into to share feelings, fears and anxiety regarding their addiction?
Thank you.

Hi all who have posted ads. I could respond to each of them, but then that would take up more room than perhaps is available on this site. feel free to e-mail me and I will do whatever it takes to be of assistance. If you are having trouble finding support, I will try to help you locate it. As far as the person that has children and has to travel, you are not alone. I am sure there are others that could use support and perhaps meetings closer to your area. GSO can help you set up a meeting. Good luck all and ODAAT! ruth

Lost at what to do with a husband who loves to drink beer and doesn’t seem to realize, (or remember) the trouble he causes. Been married lots of years and putting up with his antics, but getting tired of him not wanting to make any moves toward correcting the problem. He has never once gone to an AA meeting or talked to anyone about this. No surprise: both parents were alcoholics! Any ideas of how to shock him out of his love for this bitter brew?

I recently seperated from my husband. He of course is an alcoholic. He drank every day. I tried to convince him on many occasions to get help. He of course would just fight with me and find any of my defects to make himself feel better. He would convince himself that he was not an alcoholic. Easter Eve my husband had been drinking since that morning. We ended up in an argument of course like every other day. I told him I had enough and I was going to leave him. He cornered me in the master bathroom and said that I was not going anywhere. He tried snatching my car keys from out of my hand. I told him to let me leave or I would call 911. My husband picked up the phone and dialed 911. I hung up the phone. Then the 911 operator called back. He told me to answer the phone and I did. I explained to the 911 operator that he would not allow me and the children to leave. Officers arrived and I could not allow myself to press charges. Instead I left the house with the children and have not been back. I told my husband that if he found help and I believed that he was serious I would contemplate the return. He has told me that he is attending aa classes in Fort Pierce, FL. I have seen him with AA literature, but something tells me that he is lying. He says that he does not have a sponsor and that his classes are three times a week. I found this website today after work and the closest aa meeting is in Port Saint Lucie. He has promised our kids a pet to try to get them to convince me to come home. I recently invited him to dinner. He said that he does not want me to feel sorry for him. I told him i did not. I am trying to make this marriage work, but i am afraid that his addiction will not allow it. How can i find out if he is really attending aa classes? How often should he attend aa classes and what is the success rate. I do not want to go back right away with fear that something worse could happen. Any information or suggestions accepted. Please help!!!!

ny husband admits he has a drinking problem, but says he is not addicted. He hust has a habit.
I have tried to get him to go to AA, How does one know if he is addicted or just has a habit, that is difficult to control. i dont think he wants to stop, because he is very stubborn. Any suggestions?

Hello Dee,
I read your remark. I am new to all this, it has taken me a lot to finally accept my problem. I am very scared and I feel lost, I feel like I don’t have anyone that can understand me, although I haven’t tried to communicate with anyone, I guess I am scared to be judged. You know that saying “don’t judge anyone unless you have walked in their shoes”. There are many details to my story, and to be honest I think I could write a book. I want help, but it is hard to trust, especially if you khow the person listening doesn’t truly understand because they have never been there. Good luck in your journey and I wish you the best.

My name is Tony, am 47. Iam a alcohoic, in loganville Ga. Ive been sober about 3 1/2 months. I lost my drivers license, job, an now about to be homeless. Not because of drinking again, because I cant seem to function enough to job hunt. Plus like i said no license. I really think am at the end now. I guess they will put me back in jail,i just dont know what to do next. Its like i cant think straight at times. I have no money for rehab places,I know no one will help me,because i did this to myself, i just wondered what happens now. I pray for death every night it seems, but nothing helps. this is my friends computer Ken & Patty Peck, they have helped me as much as they can, but I know they want me to leave now because they too dont know what or how to help me. it all cost money i dont have. I hope someone reads this,an will make a differet choise about alcohol. My father was a alcholic and I didnt want to be like that but, it turns out i did anyway. Keep all childern & KIDS away from drinkers, they will see it and also end doing what they are shown too do… I know there is no one out there to help me, I just needed someone to talk too, before its over for me.

yes lorena i know u feel my husband goes on these binges and will not answer his phone after awhile i guess when we call them we are constantly reminding them to come home n to stop drinking the thing about it its like a lays potatoe chip they cant put it down does your hubby drink that u can smell it inhis pores n he will not go for help because he saids he is not a drunk he can quit when he wants he just likes the taste in deep denial

shawana i can relate to you also we are family n when your family is going through whether drinking or trying to kick the habit u dont just want to keep your love one to the curb but how much can u tolerate. then if u make these choices they are not only yours but what about the children they will suffer and maybe they will resent you for leaving daddy or they may blame theirselves for daddys drinking .so its hard n u have to do what best for you n your children and maybe he will change and save his family by starting with the man in the mirror . these are the things that i am also going through n then i started blaming me but then i say i am not the problem at all he needs help n now i forcus on me n my children i there for him but not 100% maybe 75% because i will be stressed out over him n he will be doing what he does best drinking n living n i will be not here which i do not plan to do it will come a time when enough will enough only god will give u what u can carry n when it gets too heavy we need to drop that load . pray n dont give up on him or u family but something for u n the kids

I have read all of the comments from others and it really helps to know you are not alone, My husband drinks heavily when at home, he does not want to go anywhere, I have told him I will not go buy his whiskey anymore, he still manipulates me to go for him, I feel I am enabling him it is tempting to leave but I have been with him for many years and I don’t feel it would be right for me to leave because he has a problem,It is hard for me but I want to help him I am afraid I am not strong enough. He starts drinking sometimes at or before 9 am and is passed out by 2 pm, he don’t want to go anywhere anymore, he just stays at home and I go do what I want knowing he will be on the couch asleep when I get home. I am afraid he will soon lose his job, he admits he has a problem and says he is trying, however I am not seeing that he is trying. I have purchased a workbook that the LDS church puts out and I have been reading it to see what I can do to help him, I feel I need to start by writing down my feelings about the problem then hopefully I can help him, I know I need to avoid rude comments etc. but it’s so frustrating sometimes my mouth moves before my brain, I know there is a way and I also know it is good to have someones support to get through it. The power of prayer is where I am finding strength to find resources to help. Hope this may help others as well. YOU CAN DO IT. Starting to seek help is the biggest step DON’T give up. God bless and best of luck to all.

To Lynn- God bless you and your husband. He probably won’t quit until he hits rock bottom. The BEST thing you can do is find an al-anon meeting to go to REGULARLY. Please at least go to an alanon web-site and read about it. A.A. and alanon are not affiliated with any religion, but we come from all walks of life and denominations. We all have our own God that we put our lives into His hands. I have many LDS friends in A.A. and alanon. You won’t beleive the love, acceptance, and help you will get. I have not heard of a religious leader who does not approve of A.A. and Alanon. Please try it!

For Lisa: You said you all had been married 26 years and you finally ended it. The fact you continue to feel guilt means you haven’t ended anything. The alcohol in your husband’s life has as much power over you as it does him! YOU are as POWERLESS over alcohol as he is. It still continues to make YOUR life unmanageable. I am a recovering alcoholic and have been “sober” 29 years. My husband was my “Higher Power” until he failed me, then alcohol became my god. When I put down the drink, I needed to find a real higher power that would be ther in good times and bad. Even though I no longer drink, I still have bad days, but then everyone does (I’ve learned!). I have also learned I am worth more than the price of a drink. My Higher Power today does not come out of a bottle of any shape, size, or content. Getting sober changed NOTHING of my past, but it certainly changed how I look at my past. I have also gotten “right sized”. I suggest you get a copy of the 12 Steps, and begin to work them in your own life. Your husband will either get better or he won’t.
An enabler “enables”…so the fact that he drinks again when he realizes you are not taking him back, and that you know that will be his reaction, yet you continue your same behavior continues to make you BOTH sick . Remember, the definition of insanity is repeating the same thing over and over again but expecting different results. I hope this helped. My job is to deliver the information. My job is not what you do with that information. My e-mail is dovecote1@msn.com, if you’d like to contact me further. But getting the 12 Step book will help you most of all. Good luck.
By TONY on Nov 1, 2008 | Reply
I did not rercommend Al-Anon, because I have been married now 47 years and I did attend some of their meetings too when I got sober, as my husband drank too. I guess I was “unlucky” in the meetings I chose, as the people there kept focusing on the alky, not what the disease of alcoholism had done to the spouse/friend/family. The spouse,etc. needs to work the same 12 steps to recovery as the Alcoholic. Actually if someone is turned off by “religion” I firml;y believe the 12 steps help everyone live a good life day-by-day. That is just my opinion, but it is the only thing I am not open to discussion about.

I have a girl friend from 18 years ago, we lost touch I guess. Ann became a aloholic in those lost years. She just contacted me. I would like to help her. She when to get dried out about 2 months ago, but, she feel of the wagon when till a week ago, she is trying to quite again. From wait I understand, she:
1. Is depressed, and just starts crying.
2. She has lost weight, she is 53 years old and weights about 90 lbs. Her teeth got all loose, so she had them pulled out about 10 days ago. (thats when she tryed to quite drinking again.)
3. She talks about poor Fred, her husband, he
does this for me, he does that for me. Fred had told her he was walking out, he has there home up for sale. Ann loves Fred, and I see Fred still loves her but, he can not go on.
I have asked for Ann to come and stay at our farm with us many times, she says yes she would lile to come, then, she makes excuses and ends up not coming. How can I help her? I phone about every 2 or 3 days to cheer her up. I talk about new things, old news, what we have done together, she is saying things like,” I shouldn,t have phoned you, you where probably busy….) I say I always have time for you! I know she needs something to do, but, she is to week to do much, and of course she can not drive. Please tell me what to do,
I am sure the family has tried the a.a meetings, but, Ann does not what people to know that she is a alcololic, she did not tell me, she came here, by looking at her, I new something was wrong, then every 15 minutes she had to go to the bathroom, with her purse, and a travel cup. Then I knew. I then talked to her about the disease.

I really think you need to go to alanon. This has shown me how to cope with this issue. Most of all this will help you work on your self. When you go to the meetings you dont have to speak and you can listen. I have a lot of faith that this will open your eyes and your heart. It took me 7 years to realize this. And it is a great way to open out on how you are filling and to see how other people are dilling with it . Some are worst some are small but the one thing is we need to take care of our selfs so we dont fall inti our bottom with them. LOL ray

This is to everyone—
I was surfing the net and stumbled across this…
My boyfriend is an alcoholic. For the most part he only drinks on the weekends, but sometimes he drinks during the week too. We’ve been together for a little over a year, and its been tough. When he drinks he gets abusive. The littlest things sets him off. Ive threatened to leave him several times but I never have. Last weekened he drank and he stayed out all night and came home drunk. That Sunday night when he was sober him and I got into an argument, and our dog was hurt. He felt so bad about it that he called home from work the next day to check up on the dog. When he came home that afternoon he told me that he wanted to change the way hes been living his life. He has been to AA meetings in the past but they didnt help him. hes drank for the majority of his life. Hes 37 now. So far he has went a full weeek with no alcohol. Im very proud of him, but at the same time in the back of my head I have this intense fear that hes going to fall off the wagon, and all the fighting and abuse is going to sneak back into our lives. I feel like Ive said and done everything to help him. I fear that he is going to develop a liver disease if he decides to continue drinking. He drinks beer, 100 proof dark eyes vodka, and on occasion Kesslers whiskey. He can sit and drink 2 pints of vodka in one day. He drinks it like its water. Its the saddest thing. He is an amazing person when hes sober. He has truly shown me that alcohol changes people. I am a non-drinker, and living with someone that does is very hard. He always tells me that only he can make himself stop drinking. Nothing I say or do is going to convince him. I have heard alot about hitting rock bottom, and I hope the dog whom he adores, was his rockbottom. As foolish as it may sound, it could have been me that was hurt. What if things spun put of control and he killed me? He could never take that back. I hope and pray to god that he quits this time. Hes doing it cold turkey, and i cant imagine the physicall, and mental strain it must have on him. If anyone has any advice on how I can make things easier for him and I please reply. I caould definately use the advice. Thank you

ASHLEY, sounds to me like you & your boyfriend are going thru pure hell & I feel really bad for both of you. I believe that the best thing you can do for both of you is for you to gather the strength you need, just like I’m trying my best to do, to be the strong one here & take care of yourself first & him next, as you can’t help him if you’re not strong yourself–which means that you need to STOP accepting responsibility for his actions but still be available for him, but ONLY if you think he’s truly in need of your help. xo

There is a simple way to see if has an problem driner or truly alcoholic.Buy him his drink of choice.After three or drinks ask him to stop.If he cant he has a problem with alcohol.Does he hide or concealhis alcohol. is he anxious in the morning.Does he need a drink to go to work.I am recovery myself. Get you an A.A. Alot of information is in there and if he is truly alcoholic you will be able to relate to some of the information in there your only cost is the pricr of the book.The rest is up to him.You cannnot make sober that is up to him.good luck and have a good day

I am afraid I am an alcoholic. Functional, but still I think I am. No need to drink daily, but, I drink alot when I do drink. I think I’m ready to work on my addiction, but my husband can’t figure why I just can’t stop drinking without anyone else involved. He thinks I am weak. Am I the weak person & need to buck up??
By Alcohol treatment can also help families on Nov 20, 2009 | Reply
To both Janice and Debbie, there are support groups out there for spouses of alcoholics or drug addicts just as there are support groups for the abusers themselves. Often times, alcohol treatment centers also have programs or sessions to help the entire family get back to some sort of normalcy.
In this industry, we understand that alcohol and drugs don’t just affect the people who abuse them. They can also have a dire effect on spouses, other family members and friends. You are not alone in this, and I commend you for seeking support for yourselves and also for sticking with your husbands and children as they go through this difficult time.
If you have not already found an alcohol treatment program, or a drug treatment program, do your research online and consider those that also have support programs for families. Sometimes recovery is better when everyone is able to heal together. Good luck to you both, and don’t forget that there are options out there for you and your loved ones.
