Why Is It So Hard To Stop Drinking Alcohol

Oh yes, drinking alcohol is what most people do at parties, picnics, family functions and so many other things that always seem to have alcohol.  The question is, "why is it so hard to stop drinking alcohol?" 

It seems like everything we do in life always involves alcohol is some way.  Why do you think this is I might ask?   Can't we have a fun time without involving alcohol?

Well, back in my drinking days and I'm sure many alcoholics will agree, is that we never wanted to attend any kind of function if alcohol wasn't being served.  Thinking back, I now know this was a sickness and an addiction to alcohol.  How many people do you know that live each day for their addiction and when it comes to doing something without alcohol they are not interested in going or doing anything.  The absence of alcohol is heartbreaking to the alcoholic. They think to them self, "who am I going to cope with this day without my crutch?"  Will I have any fun being sober?

I used to make fun of people that didn't drink and I thought they are missing out on some fun times.  Man was I ever wrong with that theory.  I have found out over the last two years that I have had more fun being clean and sober than the best drunk I ever had.

To stop drinking alcohol is harder than most people think, especially those who have no addiction and can have a few drinks and call it quits for the night, or those that don't drink alcohol at all.

REASONS WHY IT IS SO HARD TO STOP DRINKING ALCOHOL

• Trying to stay sober,but still hanging around with your old drinking buddies.
• You may think you can't get along in this world without your crutch.
• You probably forgot what it feels like to be sober and so used to being drunk and that's your world you know best.
• You have a fear of being sober.
• You may think you will miss out on so great times with family and friends.
• Your worried of how you will feel with the absence of alcohol in your body.
• You may wonder what your friends will think of you being clean and sober and if they will still be your friends because you stopped drinking alcohol.

There are many reasons why it is so hard to stop drinking alcohol and each alcoholic has different reasons for this hard to stop addiction.

Try not to make this recovery process harder than it is.  Believe in yourself and continue to tell yourself that you can a will beat your addiction to alcohol and will never let anything or anyone stand in your way of your sobriety.

How One DUI Can Change Your Life

Everyone knows that drinking and driving changes lives in more ways than one.  How many times have you been at a party or a bar and got into your vehicle and driven home? 

These people have no respect for the human life and for their lives as well.  The alcohol they have consumed over the evening makes them think that they are indestructible and they think they can make it home safe and sound.  It's not them thinking, it is the alcohol thinking for them.  The demons have now taken over your body and mind.  They are the one that will change and ruin your life in a heart beat.

You better watch out for the men and ladies in blue.  Have you even gave it a thought what the consequences would be if caught drinking and driving?  Of course not.  When drinking alcohol and getting to the point of being drunk, you really don't care about anything or anyone, including yourself.

I can give you a few things to think about and how one DUI can change your life.  You may be just to proud to ask someone to pick you up or call for a ride to get home safe by a sober driver right?

That one mistake could change your live forever.  A few hours of drinking and having fun could, and will, if caught ruin many things in your life, like losing your driving privileges, possible car crash, hurting or killing someone or yourself.

Lets just say you were out drinking all night and got into your car and started to head home.  You are beating the odds so far driving and haven't been seen by any law enforcement and all of a sudden, you look in the rear view mirror and see those nice flashing light from your new found friend, our Police Officers.

You thought you were driving just fine, so you thought.  Not knowing you were swerving back and forth pass the lines in the road.  Your demons said you were driving great, but the Officers saw different.

Everyone thinks we can out smart the law, but with a few different sobriety test conducted on the street and that nice little machine we call today "the breathalyzer" can find more than you think right?

So you fail all test and get placed in the Police car and taken downtown, as they call it.  You are booked and guess what, now you have a nice little record to your name.  You are a drunken driver now and many will find out, including your boss in which some may lose their jobs over.  Many need their drivers licence in order to perform their jobs.  That's number one and secondly, your family will sooner or later find out and then the embarrassment will start to set in.

Lets suppose you didn't get caught by the law, but you lost control of your vehicle because of speeding and crashed.  Suppose that crash involved an innocent person or person and caused them to be hospitalized or possibly killed.  You know what happens if you kill someone from drinking and driving right? 

You will be looking through those nice black bars in your own personal jail cell.  What a way to spend many years of your life looking out through those bars and wondering, "Why did I drink and drive?"

So you were lucky this time getting home without getting caught, but watch out because everyone sooner or later, will lose and their luck will run out and you are finished or dead.  It's that simple.

Fulfillment In A Sober Life

Fulfillment in a sober life is a story I can share with everyone that has or had an addiction to alcohol as I did over two years ago. 

From my own experiences being addicted to alcohol and now clean and sober.  From one alcoholic to another I want to say that there is always hope and to never give up on your dreams or give up to a sober life.  Sobriety is a wonderful thing and anyone that has a drinking problem should really consider changing their life and find sobriety once more.

As we know, the world we live in is full of ups and downs.  There are problems, wars, and so many things that would bring you down and get you depressed, but many of us turn to alcohol to ease the pain or try to make us forget our problems in our everyday lives.  Drinking and abusing alcohol is NOT the answer to any thing, believe me.  You are only masking the problems for a short time and when you sober up, guess what, those problems and pains are still and maybe worse.

If you truly want fulfillment in your life than take a good look at your addiction and figure out what you can do to surrender to it and start living a fulfilling, happy, healthy and rewarding life.

When someone is addicted to alcohol is their live really fulfilled or is there something missing?  The missing link is their happiness, their health and possibly a doomed marriage, but there is a answer to making all these things disappear and getting the life back you deserve and that is surrendering to you addiction to alcohol.

Life is all what you make it and if you choose to live it drinking alcohol everyday and abusing it, then you have a rude awakening coming.  Your life will only go downhill until the day you hit rock bottom, so why not try to fix whats broken and start living again.

Once you surrender to your addiction you will see how your life will start to change and start heading back up hill.  You will then be able to start to fulfill those dreams and goals you may of had before your addiction took over your life.

Being Addicted To An Addiction

There are so many things people can be addicted to, but are you addicted to an addiction?  I know it may sound stupid worded this way, but when you think about the families and friends you have, they are suffering right along side of the alcoholic or drug addict.  The difference is, they are not putting harmful substances in their bodies.

These addictions seem to travel right through the families and friends that love and care about the real person that has the addiction.  In my mind, I think this is horrible, as you should too.  I can relate to the message I am giving here because I was one of those addicted people that passed my addiction right through my family and never even knew I was making them addicted to my addiction.

I think the big problem with someone that has an addiction is they live in such a world of denial they don't think or see how much they are hurting the people that care and love them so.

Open your eyes and look around and you may just notice a huge difference in the people that love and care about you.  They can only take so much until they break and give you an option, either quit drinking alcohol or I leave for good.  Does that sound familiar to anyone reading this? 

Is it enough to make you quit drinking alcohol?  I bet not, or if you do, it may only be for a short time, and then when things settle down on the home front you go right back to your old ways and start drinking again.

It's time for the addiction to halt and start living the life you and your families deserve.  No one just wakes up one morning and decides to start destroying their life with an addiction.  We all have tried our share of experiments with drugs or alcohol and many people hated it and no longer wanted it in their lives and then there are those that became to like and enjoy the feeling of being high or drunk and sooner or later the addiction that you started with as an experiment became a full blown out addiction.  You didn't plan your life to be this way or did you do it just to help cut your life span short.  You became addicted because the things that you tried and liked did exactly what they were suppose to do, and that is to get you addicted to whatever drug of choice you choose.

LETS TRY TO HELP YOU OUT OF YOUR ADDICTION

Sit back and think how your life was before you got addicted to drugs or alcohol.
Think of all the great times you had with your spouse and family before you got addicted.
Think of all the money you will save by not supporting your habit.
Think of how much happier you will be living a life of sobriety.
Think of healing yourself inside your body and detoxing yourself once and for all.
Think of how much healthier you will be.
Think of all the times you might have gotten behind the wheel drunk or high.  No need to worry about that anymore being clean and sober, (although you still have to look out for the other person that is still addicted and getting behind the wheel drunk or high.)
Think of all the mornings you woke up and felt like crap.  No longer will that happen!

**** So these are just a few things to think about when you are tilting that bottle, cracking that can of beer open or using or smoking drugs.

Think of how you are passing your addiction to others without even noticing it, and how you are hurting the ones you love.
