How to Overcome Alcoholism

Many Nigerians are affected by alcoholism every year. It can take hold of your life and sometimes never letting go, taking you down to the inner most parts of hell. Those around you suffer while you suffer, and sometimes you don't even know it or care, because your so consumed by it. It may be hard to overcome something like this alone or even with a group, but know there is hope. There is a certain type of mentality that you must have to fight this disease, and I do mean fight. Here is some advice to overcome the poison. "Recognize that you have a problem." Listen if you're drinking everyday, every other day, every weekend and so on and so forth then you probably have a problem. Don't let pride mess with your life, because sooner or later this disease will catch up with you. Get all the alcohol beverages out of your house. Get them out of your refrigerator out of your cupboards dump it down the sink and throw the bottles away, you will feel liberated after doing so. Tell your party friends good bye. Here comes the hard part. All those people who you party with who stick with you because you buy all the beer... tell them bye bye. Tell them how ever you want to, but you have to stay away from people who are going to influence you to drink. So bottom line and I don't care if its your girlfriend, if they are not part of the solution then they are part of the problem. Go see a counselor or go to a AA meeting. When facing this disease you are going to need support and sometimes sharing your story with complete strangers can be therapeutic not to mention inspiring to people who share your pain, it will help. Pat yourself on the back, now go out there and spread the word of alcoholism and how it affects peoples life, be a spokesperson for this disease, people need you. Courtesy: wikihow.comm
