Download or read book Alcoholic Or Problem Drinker written by Anonymous Guest and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-02-03 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you or a friend has a "problem with alcohol" this guide may help you to find out if it is alcoholism or if it is problem drinking. The two issues have a few similarities but have more differences. As the saying goes "it's hard to work on the problem if you don't know what the problem is." Helping the inndividual identify what the real issue is, then they are free to decide what remedy to use. In most cases if the consumption of alcohol is frequent it may be needed to enter yourself into a local detox center to safely withdraw from alcohol and any other drugs. Withdrawl can be dangerous and having medical supervision during this process can save your life or safe you from injury during the withdrawl process. If you discover that you may be alcoholic, the program of AA will make a huge difference in not only getting sober, but finding contented sobriety. After 38 in the Program of Alcoholics Anonymous, I am still in awe of the miracles I see. People who are so messed up when they first come into this program and totally change into a rational, even thinking human beings. This happens not by just going to meetings, that won't do it. It is only by fully immersing yourself into the 12 Steps that an incredible metamorphosis happens. Trembling despairing people turn into people you would be pleased to know. Even to call them a friend, when a few short months before you wouldn't have allowed them into your home. By being honest with yourself, working to live on a spiritual basis and getting an open mind for new approaches to life is a big part of how it works. This is not a religious movement at all. Religion has rules. Spirituality has only guidelines and suggestions. The person is free to find their own way looking only to live by spiritual principals instead of their previous personality. The true beauty of this process is you get better in spite of yourself. You simply follow the steps and changes within happen. Even those around you, like friends and family, will notice a difference. It seems that once we address the spiritual sickness within (because we are spiritual beings) we straighten out mentally and physically. Over the last 38 years, I have had wondrous experiences watching people get their lives and families back. So if you're in trouble because of your drinking this guide will help you understand the problem and give you (or a friend) some real options if you wish to make a change. I wish the best for you and I hope I can be of service if needed. Anonymous Guest

Download or read book Almost Alcoholic written by Joseph Nowinski and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-03-13 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Determine if your drinking is a problem, develop strategies for curbing your intake, and measure your progress with this practical, engaging guide to taking care of yourself. Every day, millions of people drink a beer or two while watching a game, shake a cocktail at a party with friends, or enjoy a glass of wine with a good meal. For more than 30 percent of these drinkers, alcohol has begun to have a negative impact on their everyday lives. Yet, only a small number are true alcoholics--people who have completely lost control over their drinking and who need alcohol to function. The great majority are what Dr. Doyle and Dr. Nowinski call "Almost Alcoholics," a growing number of people whose excessive drinking contributes to a variety of problems in their lives. In Almost Alcoholic, Dr. Doyle and Dr. Nowinski give the facts and guidance needed to address this often unrecognized and devastating condition. They provide the tools to: identify and assess your patterns of alcohol use; evaluate its impact on your relationships, work, and personal well-being; develop strategies and goals for changing the amount and frequency of alcohol use; measure the results of applying these strategies; and make informed decisions about your next steps.

Book Synopsis You Might Be a Problem Drinker If... by : David L. Anders
Download or read book You Might Be a Problem Drinker If... written by David L. Anders and published by . This book was released on 2011-02 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. David L. Anders is a practicing physician who provides a light-hearted view of those who have a tendency to drinking "just a little too much." As he says in the Introduction of "You Might Be A Problem Drinker If..." Almost everyone who drinks alcoholic beverages has at one time or another asked introspectively, "Why did I do that?" when reflecting on the activities of the night before. And suddenly, guilt is replaced by an attempted justification, with a self-assurance that, "It couldn't have been that juvenile," and if it was, everyone else there had imbibed more than you so you were off the hook. Nevertheless, at such times, you may ask, "Did I go too far? Do I have a drinking problem? Am I on the slippery slope to ruination?" and then you again comfort yourself with a reassuring "Nawwww!" and promise to behave next time. It is in these moments of insecurity that this book may be a useful tool. Ever since the days of the Great Flood, astute observers have identified a link between the consumption of excessive amounts of ethanol-containing beverages and undesirable alterations in human behavior. Over the years it has become fairly intuitive that such antics document not just a single event of regrettable activity, but actually establish the likelihood that other similar episodes have previously occurred - a pattern of behavior that serves up evidence that a true problem has been created by what is simply too much alcohol and too little discernment. Modern medicine has long searched for a test that could be rapidly self-administered, the results of which could let the test-taker know whether the potential for a problem with alcohol exists. Never missing an opportunity to transform something simple into something far more complex, researchers have attempted to quantify these episodes of indiscretion and the results of such astoundingly poor judgment. In the quest to refine the definition of "just how much is too much," many different questionnaires of varying levels of complexity have been developed that can be administered to individuals to determine if the use of alcohol has become a problem. But let's be honest. Defining someone who has gone past their limits at the bar is a little like defining pornography - "We know it when we see it." Should it really take a hour-long test to define someone who no longer knows when to say no? I think we can all agree that sometimes only one piece of information is necessary to identify a problem, if it's the right piece. For instance, the newspaper headline, "Man arrested for frisking department store mannequin" may tell us with a high degree of statistical probability all we really need to know about his drinking habits, without the expense of ordering a blood alcohol level or administering a fancy written test. Having studied this problem, I have come to realize that there is not just one Holy Grail question to solve this pursuit, but rather dozens, hundreds, if not thousands of single test questions, any one of which may be adequate in identifying that poor soul who no longer has control. I've summarized those questions in the pages that follow, a series of questions, any one of which may identify an area in your life which points to a potential problem. So find a comfy chair, sit back, and CHEERS! Or, as my gastroenterologist friend says to his patients before colonoscopies, "Bottoms up!"

Download or read book Drinking written by Caroline Knapp and published by Dial Press. This book was released on 1999-08-02 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fifteen million Americans a year are plagued with alcoholism. Five million of them are women. Many of them, like Caroline Knapp, started in their early teens and began to use alcohol as "liquid armor," a way to protect themselves against the difficult realities of life. In this extraordinarily candid and revealing memoir, Knapp offers important insights not only about alcoholism, but about life itself and how we learn to cope with it. It was love at first sight. The beads of moisture on a chilled bottle. The way the glasses clinked and the conversation flowed. Then it became obsession. The way she hid her bottles behind her lover's refrigerator. The way she slipped from the dinner table to the bathroom, from work to the bar. And then, like so many love stories, it fell apart. Drinking is Caroline Kapp's harrowing chronicle of her twenty-year love affair with alcohol. Caroline had her first drink at fourteen. She drank through her yeras at an Ivy League college, and through an award-winning career as an editor and columnist. Publicly she was a dutiful daughter, a sophisticated professional. Privately she was drinking herself into oblivion. This startlingly honest memoir lays bare the secrecy, family myths, and destructive relationships that go hand in hand with drinking. And it is, above all, a love story for our times—full of passion and heartbreak, betrayal and desire—a triumph over the pain and deception that mark an alcoholic life. Praise for Drinking “Quietly moving . . . Caroline Knapp dazzles us with her heady description of alcohol's allure and its devastating hold.”—Los Angeles Times Book Review “Filled with hard-won wisdom . . . [a] perceptive and revealing book.”—San Francisco Chronicle “Eloquent . . . a remarkable exercise in self-discovery.”—The New York Times “Drinking not only describes triumph; it is one.”—Newsweek

Book Synopsis Quit Like a Woman by : Holly Whitaker
Download or read book Quit Like a Woman written by Holly Whitaker and published by Dial Press. This book was released on 2019-12-31 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “An unflinching examination of how our drinking culture hurts women and a gorgeous memoir of how one woman healed herself.”—Glennon Doyle, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Untamed “You don’t know how much you need this book, or maybe you do. Either way, it will save your life.”—Melissa Hartwig Urban, Whole30 co-founder and CEO The founder of the first female-focused recovery program offers a groundbreaking look at alcohol and a radical new path to sobriety. We live in a world obsessed with drinking. We drink at baby showers and work events, brunch and book club, graduations and funerals. Yet no one ever questions alcohol’s ubiquity—in fact, the only thing ever questioned is why someone doesn’t drink. It is a qualifier for belonging and if you don’t imbibe, you are considered an anomaly. As a society, we are obsessed with health and wellness, yet we uphold alcohol as some kind of magic elixir, though it is anything but. When Holly Whitaker decided to seek help after one too many benders, she embarked on a journey that led not only to her own sobriety, but revealed the insidious role alcohol plays in our society and in the lives of women in particular. What’s more, she could not ignore the ways that alcohol companies were targeting women, just as the tobacco industry had successfully done generations before. Fueled by her own emerging feminism, she also realized that the predominant systems of recovery are archaic, patriarchal, and ineffective for the unique needs of women and other historically oppressed people—who don’t need to lose their egos and surrender to a male concept of God, as the tenets of Alcoholics Anonymous state, but who need to cultivate a deeper understanding of their own identities and take control of their lives. When Holly found an alternate way out of her own addiction, she felt a calling to create a sober community with resources for anyone questioning their relationship with drinking, so that they might find their way as well. Her resultant feminine-centric recovery program focuses on getting at the root causes that lead people to overindulge and provides the tools necessary to break the cycle of addiction, showing us what is possible when we remove alcohol and destroy our belief system around it. Written in a relatable voice that is honest and witty, Quit Like a Woman is at once a groundbreaking look at drinking culture and a road map to cutting out alcohol in order to live our best lives without the crutch of intoxication. You will never look at drinking the same way again.

Download or read book Under the Influence written by James Robert Milam and published by Bantam. This book was released on 2021-09-28 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The now-classic guide to alcoholism returns with new, enlightening research that confirms the revolutionary ideas first trailblazed by this book in a time when such theories were unheard of—now featuring a new foreword, new resources, and the same reliable insights and easy-to-read style. “This book is truly informative, powerful, and an invaluable resource on overcoming alcoholism.”—Angela Diaz, M.D., Ph.D., M.P.H. Ten of millions of Americans suffer from alcoholism, yet most people still wrongly believe that alcoholism is a psychological or moral problem that can be “cured” once the purported underlying psychological problems or moral failings of the alcoholic are addressed. Based on groundbreaking scientific research, Under the Influence examines the physical factors that set alcoholics and non-alcoholics apart, and suggests a bold, stigma-free way of understanding and treating the disease of alcoholism. You’ll learn: • How to tell if someone you know is an alcoholic. • The progressive stages of alcoholism. • How to help an alcoholic into treatment and how to choose the right treatment program. • Why diet and nutritional therapy are essential elements of treatment. • Why frequently prescribed medications can be dangerous for alcoholics. • How to ensure a lasting recovery. An essential resource for anyone hoping to better understand the nature of alcoholism—whether you are looking to support a loved one or learning how to best care for yourself—it’s no wonder this innovative work has been hailed as “the best book ever written on alcoholism” (AA Beyond Belief). This special updated edition of Under the Influence will continue to earn its standing as a classic in the alcoholism field for years to come.

Book excerpt: "This invaluable work will contribute much to the battle against our number one disease."—from the Foreword by George McGovern, former senator and author of Terry: My Daughter's Life-and-Death Struggle with Alcoholism Alcoholism is a disease. It's time we started treating it like one. Science has offered undisputed proof that alcoholism is a disease rather than a weakness of character, yet millions of alcoholics continue to suffer due to inappropriate treatment. Now the co-author of the modern classic Under the Influence has teamed up with prominent alcoholism experts to provide new answers to this national epidemic. Based on the latest scientific research, Beyond the Influence clearly explains the neurological nature of the disease and reveals why some people drink addictively and others do not. It also spells out what needs to be done to treat alcoholism, including: Steps to take for an intervention How to find the right treatment program Which psychological approaches work best Why spirituality is essential to recovery New insights into relapse prevention What you should know about diet, exercise, and nontraditional treatments such as acupuncture Provocative and eye-opening, compelling and compassionate, Beyond the Influence is not only a message of hope for alcoholics--it is a blueprint for saving lives. Beyond the Influence explains that alcoholism is a disease of the body, not a weakness of character. Drawing on the latest scientific studies, the authors present new research on the central role of genetics and neurotransmitters in addiction. Continuing where the prior book left off, it also includes: Steps for diagnosis and intervention, plus ways to prevent relapses Various treatment models, including inpatient and out-patient programs and a review of new drug treatments The most effective types of psychological counseling The critical role of nutrition Non-traditional healing methods for recovery The importance of a spiritual component to recovery The authors also critique our nation's alcoholism policies, including education and prevention programs, efforts to curtail college bingeing and underage drinking, and the advertising and marketing strategies of the alcohol industry.
