Alcoholism is a disease, a dependence on alcohol, and a weakness.
In fact Roman philosopher Seneca suggested it was even a form of "insanity", but what ever it is, it certainly isn't healthy, and you can stop drinking for good.
What's the secret to beating alcoholism? Desire.
The first step to quit drinking alcohol is to want too.
I mean honestly with all your heart and soul look at yourself and say, "This is not healthy.
This is not helping me.
I don't want to be this way.
" If you don't have the honest desire to stop drinking alcohol you simply won't.
Instead you will be rewarded by repeated failure and the opportunity to drown that failure in your addiction.
You have to want to do it for you, not because a doctor said you medically needed too, or a family member or loved one asked you too, because YOU want too.
Once you have devoted yourself entirely to no longer drinking alcohol in unhealthy amounts you can begin the path to recovery.
Many people believe they can just decide they want to stop drinking and quit.
It wouldn't be an addiction if it was that easy.
The second secret to beating alcoholism is to change your life.
Distance yourself from people, situations or places that encourage your disease.
If you have to give up alcohol entirely, which you likely will in the beginning, do that.
You can't expect your life to change if you don't change it, and beating alcoholism is a big change, but a good change.
Avoid thinking that an end to alcoholism is an end to "life", there is so much more out there that you can't see through the bottle of the bottle.
When your successful in that change you shouldn't be afraid to reward yourself.
What you've done is hard, and positive reinforcement makes no longer drinking alcohol become easier and easier.
Surround yourself in the people you want to get healthy for, have a party the way parties should be- drunk on joy and not liquor, and remember...
The strongest motivator to beat alcohol for good is inside of you.
To believe is to beat the impossible.
