3 Ways for Alcohol Recovery, Including a Vision Board

3 Ways for Alcohol Recovery, Including a Vision Board

Now that the holidays are over and life is returning to its normal routines, some of the population will be reflecting on the drinking pattern that occurred during those holiday parties and events. The side effects associated with drinking alcohol can go from the very moderate to the very extreme and there is only one person that can identify which one you are, and that person is you. Around recovery circles there is a famous saying: “If you think you have an alcohol problem, you probably do.”

But what does it mean to be alcoholic? Alcoholics Anonymous has a 12-question questionnaire and if you answer yes to any of the questions they suggest that you just may have an alcohol problem.  If you are concerned that you or a loved one may have a drinking problem contact your nearest AA Intergroup or go to the Alcoholics Anonymous website. Many times information is a golden key to moving ahead with getting recovery and/or to realize what you are doing and take steps to stop it before it gets out of control.

Natural Recovery From Alcohol Dependence

Natural Recovery From Alcohol Dependence

Alcohol dependence is a wide spread problem that affects tens of millions of people throughout the globe. There are many more additional people touched in some indirect way with the associated problems of alcoholism or dependency. There are almost as many ideas on how to recover from this mental, physical and spiritual dilemma as there are people affected by it. Many major programs such as 12 step or treatment facilities claim some degree of success by utilizing a form of “group therapy” that focuses primarily on the mental and spiritual aspects of recovery. Although there may be some benefit to this perspective on recovery, the physical aspects are usually ignored except for abstinence from alcohol.
