Overcoming Addiction
	Alcoholism <  Previous Contents Next  >

Just like smoking, there are several reasons why people drink.

And most of them are already mentioned here, such as that it makes them more relaxed, it gives them pleasure, friends or family members tend to influence them, they want to be part of the in crowd, and the major influence of liquor commercials on television and major broadcasts with known actors and actresses promoting them.

Stopping the Drinking Addiction

Alcoholism comes with a huge price. When people are under the influence of alcohol, they tend to be violent, causing harm to themselves and others. Aside from that, alcohol brings about sicknesses and illnesses such as liver cancer and other types of diseases.

A few suggestions for dealing with alcoholism:

• Determine the Psychological Issues. There is a reason why this person has begun drinking.

• Ask yourself these questions.

  • Does it have something to do with his work, his career or with his family?

  • Or is there a secret that he is keeping from you? Whatever it is, you have to get to the root of the problem because the problem is not just being addicted to liquor – it’s why he has resorted to such an option. Once again, it may be too hard to go it alone, so get help. Try to get the person away from drinkers as much as possible and substitute drinking with other forms of hobbies. Instead of liquor, ask this person to drink lots of water also.
