Alcoholism - Why It Always Gets Worse, But You Don't Have To!
By Christian Shire
Alcoholism is treatable, people can and do get better and the body has a remarkable ability to heal; but there is no cure, it's a disease for life.
Alcoholism is considered a progressive disease that can only be kept in check through periods of remission (fortunately remission can last a lifetime). Alcoholics who continue to drink will find that their use intensifies, that they need to drink more and more often, and they will also find the consequences of this use intensify. If it's bad now, it's only going to get worse.
The pace of progression varies greatly by the individual. For some, it takes only months of use to observe a remarkable and tragic intensification; others can drink heavily for years; but in the end, it always gets worse - no exceptions.
People without a dependency to alcohol will not see a progression in their use behaviors over time, alcoholics will.
Ask yourself this?
Do you drink more or more often now than you did, last year, or two years ago, or five years ago?
Are the effects of alcohol on your life, health and happiness greater than they were 1-2-5 years ago?
If you answer yes to either, there is a strong possibility that you are an alcoholic.
OK, what now?
If you are an alcoholic, accept that you are an alcoholic for life. There is no cure for the disease, and if you want to get better you will have to stop drinking - and stop for life (don't be afraid; you can do it! Life will be more enjoyable too.)
Accept that alcoholism is a progressive disease, and that if you do not take steps to stop drinking, you will suffer more with every passing year. There is no rock bottom, you can just keep on going down.
Accept also that the longer you wait to get help, the tougher it's going to be to beat your disease. Treatment is always better sooner, rather than later.
Is it all doom and gloom?
No way! You can get better, you can start tomorrow, and you can retake your life health and happiness - and treatment really really works! You don't have to suffer any longer, and once you accept that you are an alcoholic, and that you do need some help; you take a giant step forward to getting better.
Realizing that you have a problem is not bad news, it is in fact very good news.
Treatment works, it works well and you can get better, you'll have to give it your all, but you can get better.
It's a crossroads of life. When you accept that you are an alcoholic, you have two choices, are you going down or are you going up, because you can't stay the same, that's not one of the choices.
Alcoholism is a progressive disease. What are you going to do about it?
