*Alcoholism is a disease. It’s an addiction of excessive drinking that interferes with your daily life.
Drug Detox Programs
Addiction Feedback: Too many headaches, blackouts, poor condition of liver, loss of libido.
Addiction Feedback: I know my father used to drink, and go out with some friends and drink though I’m not sure how much and often. His mother also used to drink, a lot from what I’ve heard. So he sort of inhabited the drinking from this, I believe. But when I was born he stopped drinking. I guess he wanted to set a good example for me. He hasn’t drunk in fourteen years. And to say I’m proud of him would be speaking lowly. I’m extremely happy he made that choice for me and for himself.

Addiction Feedback: I have only officially gone 3 days without a drink (and should say that I have no plans to totally quit drinking, but to cut way back … to once a week) and found my own motivation after a night of binge drinking and awaking the next morning in a lot of pain and misery (and I don’t get hangovers or sick from drinking), but Saturday morning I got sick … and vomited bile. I knew then that it was time to cut alcohol out almost completely. My skin has also been showing signs of too much drinking and my baby face is one of my best assets! If I can clear up my skin and go back to looking 15 years younger than my real age, then why not try to truly limit the amount of booze I consume.
Addiction Feedback: Hearing from third parties/family members how stupid I acted or the dumb as$ thing I did that I don’t remember doing, got to embarrassing so I would put the money I would normally spend on beer and crown aside and when I had the urge to drink i’d spend it on food to cook, I really love to cook and every time I do I go all out. Helped so far, 8 months sober.
Addiction Feedback: HANGOVERS!!!
Addiction Feedback: When I was 24 I was told by a Dr. that if I continued to drink alcohol my liver would kill me by my 30th Birthday…I quit and never looked back…to this day I may have one glass of wine at Christmas time but other than that I don’t even desire alcohol.

Addiction Feedback: I have a family member going through this right now. He decided to go to this out-patient program our hospital offers. It lasts 8 months and it’s meetings like AA, only without the religious part. He was always going out with friends after work and getting smashed and neglecting his family. His wife finally issued an ultimatum, get help or I’m leaving you and taking the kids. Thankfully, he chose to get help.
Addiction Feedback: i ended up in the hospital after being attacked by three guys. i got a concussion, broken nose, and this bone in my cheek broke (forget what its called). after i almost passed out they shot my shoulder (didn’t hit the bone, just caused a lot of bleeding). then i was taken to the hospital and was in there for a couple weeks. while in there i couldn’t drink and i realized how much i drink on a day to day basis and how hard it was not to. i just decided it was time to slow down, i’m knew i wasn’t going to live very long if i kept that up.
