We cannot change the nature of the addict or the addiction. We can help to change the old lie "Once an addict, always an addict," by striving to make recovery more available.

Addiction
Alcohol is a drug, a depressant that slows the function of the central nervous system. It can cloud a person's judgment and emotions, slow down body's reaction time, hinder coordination, and block memory functions. It can turn good feelings to bad and bad feelings to worst — it is never the other way around in reality.
Confused and disoriented, heavy drinkers often feel they are misunderstood, they think they are unfairly treated and that the world is conspiring against them. Alcohol can have different effects on individuals, it can make someone quiet or talkative, from reserved to uninhibited, or make them outgoing as well as make them introverted. And sometimes alcohol has different effects on the same person at different occasions, making their behavior unpredictable and leaving themselves vulnerable.
With impaired senses, they think they're walking straight or that they're saying what they want to say, but often they wind up saying or doing things they really didn't want to. They end up in arguments, fights, accidents, and other bad situations that can harm themselves, hurt other people, damage properties and ruin relationships.
Since alcohol affects the memory, sometimes people don't remember the things that went on while they were intoxicated. On good days, they wake up in their own bed but with a hangover and their stomach feels turned upside down. They promise they won't ever drink again, and the next morning (not so good day) either they are passed out someplace or they wake up in the hospital wondering what happened.
If you find yourself or a loved one in a similar situation, help yourself or your loved one take hold of your life by seeking help now.

GIVING UP INSANITY
... where alcohol has been involved, we have been strangely insane.
Alcoholism required me to drink, whether I wanted to or not. Insanity dominated my life and was the essence of my disease. It robbed me of the freedom of choice over drinking and, therefore, robbed me of all other choices. When I drank, I was unable to make effective choices in any part of my life and life became unmanageable.
I asked GOD to help me understand and accept the full meaning of the disease of alcoholism.
FACING OURSELVES
... and Fear says, "You dare not look!"
How often I avoided a task in my drinking days just because it appeared so large! Is it any wonder, even if I have been sober for some time, that I will act that same way when faced with what appears to be a monumental job, such as a searching and fearless moral inventory of myself? What I discover after I have arrived at the other side—when my inventory is completed—is that the illusion was greater than the reality. The fear of facing myself kept me at a standstill and, until I became willing to put pencil to paper, I was arresting my growth based on an intangible.
