Why can't you just use a little willpower?

Posted by kellyfalcone in treatment, drug rehab, alcoholism, alcoholic, alcohol addiction, addiction
"Why can't you just use a little willpower to stop drinking?"  This question is often asked by individuals that have no understanding of alcohol and how it affects someone.  Alcoholism has little to do with what kind of alcohol one drinks, or how long one has been drinking, or even how much alcohol has been consumed.  It does have a great deal to do with a person's uncontrollable need for

Drinking affects more than just the alcoholic.

Posted by kellyfalcone in treatment, drug rehab, alcoholism, alcoholic, alcohol addiction
There are many people involved in the life of the alcoholic.  So often the alcoholic has the selfish attitude of "my drinking only affects me", but nothing could be further from the truth.  Family, friends, employer, coworkers, neighbors and the community are all affected by alcoholism not just the alcoholic.  They end up spending time covering up for them, punishing them, taking responsibility

The consequences of heavy drinking.

Posted by kellyfalcone in treatment, drug rehab, alcoholic, addiction
Drinking more than 15 drinks a week for men or 12 drinks or more for women increases the risk of alcohol dependence.  Steady drinking over time can make you physically dependent on alcohol.  Just drinking by itself is only one of alcoholism's risk factors.  Genetics, sex, age family history and emotional disorders are other risk factors.

Don't cover for the alcoholic.

Posted by kellyfalcone in drug rehab, alcoholic, alcohol addiction
If you're covering for a person with an alcohol problem you need to stop.  Helping someone with an alcohol problem is hard, don't make excuses for them.  Talk to the person in private, when they are not under the influence of alcohol or drugs.  If you can get their agreement to get help be willing to help them find a drug rehab that will address their alcohol addiction.  Don't wait do it right

Don't be fooled by alcohol advertising.

Posted by kellyfalcone in treatment, drug rehab, alcoholic, alcohol addiction

There is always the advertising of alcohol during sporting events.  When people see these commericals they believe that drinking is OK.  The setting is always a beautiful spring day, or a group of friends having a few in a bar or someone enjoying a drink with a sexy man or women.   Well that is not the reality of what alcohol can do to someones life.  Alcohol contributes to violence and many
