How to Recover from Alcoholism or Drug Addiction: Alcoholics Anonymous is NOT the Only Way!

Alcoholism is a serious problem worldwide.  In the United States, alcoholism is the most prevalent of the nation’s addictions. Alcohol and drug use can progress into abuse and even addiction so insidiously that sometimes people do not realize that it has become a problem for them and those around them. No two people are alike, and the same can be said for addictions.  If you are suffering from an alcohol or drug problem, alcoholism recovery programs are available to help you break that addiction.  While the end goal is the same, to end the addiction, the same path is not right for every person.

Answer by Dee
Alcoholics Anonymous programs are free. The only requirement for membership is the desire to stop drinking.

Most every town in the US has meetings.

Look in your local phone book for the AA number in your area. They can help you find the nearest and most convenient meeting for you. Meetings usually run many times per day – 7 days per week.

You can also go online at: www.alcoholics-anonymous.org for information.

Out patient programs may be in your area also, and most of them are based on the 12 step program that AA offers.

You have taken the ‘first step’ in getting help.

Acceptance Is A Key |Alcoholics Anonymous | DonInLondon | Don Oddy | September 19 2008 Don Oddy | DonInLondon | Recovery Resource Videos | Alcoholics Anonymous | Addiction is often described as being unable to stop taking a substance or unable to stop a form of behaviour which is harmful. My experience strength and hope is shared here on these videos. I would suggest anyone anywhere with addictive behaviour to find professional medical support and helpful forms of support. The type of support we choose is a personal choice. For me, a combination of professional medical support and the fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous, helps me keep sober on a daily basis. Professional advice on medical matters is paramount in my opinion. I have found fellowship keeps me safe from relapse and has improved my outlook on living simply a day at a time. I do not speak as a professional or speak for anyone else but me. I have found my life improved emotionally, physically and spiritually by keeping safe and to suggestions from professionals and the fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous. I do not represent Alcoholics Anonymous, I share how fellowship helps me keep safe one day at a time. music: “music for airports” Brian Eno: www.enoshop.co.uk my photo link: www.doninchelsea.myphotoalbum.com my other video: link www.doninlondon.myphotoalbum.com email me: [email protected] Alcoholics Anonymous Alcoholic Alcoholism Addict Addiction DonInLondon Don Oddy Recovery Rehab
