Alcoholism IS An Addiction

Alcoholism is just as hard an addiction to kick as drugs. I know too well. The male family members of my extended family like drinking too much until they are drunk out. I believe that drinking in moderation is fine but not when one is so drunk that he collapses by the side of the road. Yes, these things happen and it is not a pretty sight.

One of the most effective ways to get rid of the addiction is to get committed to one of those Alcohol Rehabs. Some people refuse because it will mean and admission of defeat or weakness. Well, when we need help, we need help. The most important step towards healing is to admit that there IS a problem.

Many people do not see alcoholism as an addiction or see it as something that could be "cured". Well, ignorance is NOT bliss. It definitely is an addiction that SHOULD be cured but the better of self, family, friends and society at large.

Alcoholism is harmful to the health but people will say they rather enjoy life first. I don't see how one can enjoy life if he is so drunk to know what is going on around him. If you know of anyone with a problem, do steer him to the right path. Help him.
