Dear Visitor:

2010 will be a difficult year for many families. Not only will the effects of the financial debacle harm many lives so will alcohol. Self-destructive coping mechanisms like smoking and drinking will claim millions of lives this year alone. Alcoholism, drug addiction and tobacco addiction are likely to take a firm hold of many family members.

As bad as that may seem it does not have to include you or the people you know. There is a better way to live and a better way to cope. Don’ let alcohol consume you or any member of your family. Find the solution to alcohol abuse.

The one wonderful thing about alcoholism is that it is the only disease that allows a person to be better than they were before they became alcoholics. The benefits of not drinking are too numerous to write about in this letter but I will explain three obvious benefits.

As a person goes about their day they may experience thousands and thousands of thoughts and feelings. Their behavior is a direct response to those thoughts and feelings. In fact, for most alcoholics and addicts their core issues center on these three main areas; thoughts, emotions and actions. When a person stays sober without any other help whatsoever and we do not recommend that but if that were the case, the two immediate benefits are improved state of consciousness and improved health.

If treatment is coordinated with a detoxification program and a person is amenable to treatment the benefits just keep coming. Because with an improved state of consciousness and an understanding that there are core issues that preclude them from experiencing life to the fullest; a desire to change develops. That desire to improve their own lives is worth more than any amount of money.

The key to success is to not drink no matter what. Relapse is not a part of recovery it is a part of the disease of alcoholism. And once a person starts a new life it cannot include drugs or alcohol. Because alcohol and drugs cut a person off from their inner spirit. Vigilance, proactive behavior, elimination of secondary addictive behaviors and 12-step recovery are essential elements to long-term recovery.
