Before we can look at a cure we need to recognize what, exactly, alcohol is and how it affects us mentally, physically and spiritually. I bring spirituality into it for those of us who believe in something greater than ourselves, like a Creator or God. Now, if you don’t have a spiritual side you might have a difficult time understanding the control that alcohol has over us when we rely on it to ease the pain of life’s travails.
For most people "alcohol" is connected to a variety of activities that people engage in such as gambling, drugs or other substances; however, the one common factor in all these items is that they are all addictive. And in the end, it is the addiction that will destroy us as it prevents us from recognizing the damage that is occurring around us while we are giving in to it.
Since I recognize that not everyone is spiritual I will try to present my point of view from a purely intellectual point. Everyone has an inner voice that guides us in our decision making process and it is up to us to listen to the voices that guide us to the right decisions; there is no doubt in my mind that if you believe in something greater than yourself you are a step closer to getting rid of the addictions that are in your life.
If you desire to quit there are a variety of support groups available, both religious and non, that can help you through the difficult times ahead. If you have found a support group already then I congratulate you on making the right decision and hope you find the comfort and support that you desire.
If you are addicted to alcohol and need help quitting then you can count on me as a supporter as well as an entire group of others who have been through what you are going through. Believe in yourself, and if you have faith that there is a superior being, then you can call on that as well. Don’t be afraid to change your life and let others know of your decision but if you want to tackle the problem privately then please know you can count on me, Ed Philips, to help you on the path to understanding what alcohol is and how you can stop the addiction today.
