My story of drug and alcohol addiction.

Posted by kellyfalcone in treatment, drug rehab, cocaine, alcoholic, alcohol addiction, addiction
I started smoking marijuana and drinking many years ago when I was a teenager.  I thought that I needed to do this to be cool and fit in with the other kids at school.  I never was a straight "A" student but I did OK.  I was never involved in any of the school activities that were offered that so many of the other kids were involved with.  I tended to go the wrong direction and hang out with the

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

Be willing to reach out for help.

The slide into alcohol abuse and alcoholism can take many forms and be gradual and subtle.  Many use it to escape their daily problems, frustrations and feelings of inferiority.  Some alcohol abusers have physical and emotional problems when they start drinking.  It sometimes takes years for drinkers to develop into a more noticeable phase of alcoholism.  Some people the alcohol pattern develops

When alcohol acts as a tool to aviod pain.

Posted by kellyfalcone in treatment, drug rehab, alcohol addiction, addiction
Almost anything can become an addiction, especially when it acts as a tool for the avoidance of our internal pain.  Most addictions begin with the feel good factor, with things that make us feel better, and draw us up and out of our normal painful existence. We may begin doing something for pleasure or need.  Soon we discover accidentally that the behavior has a pay off, it keeps our real pain

Alcohol affects individuals differently.

Posted by kellyfalcone in treatment, drug rehab, alcoholism, alcohol addiction, addiction
More money is spent every year promoting the use of alcohol than any other product.  Through the use of elaborate and creative marketing, the most basic fact about alcohol is overlooked "alcohol is a drug".  It is the most commonly used and widely abused psychoactive drug in the world.  Alcohol interacts with the body's systems in predictable ways to lead to physiological addiction.  Alcohol

Posted by kellyfalcone in treatment, drug rehab, alcoholism, alcoholic

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.

People don't drink to become alcoholic.  Many people drink
