Solving Alcohol Addiction Problems

If you or someone you know is addicted to alcohol then I have a handy little guide for you right here. This is not a trivial problem but I have dealt with it in my own life and I have been sober for over 8 years now so I know a bit about it. I also work in an alcohol treatment center and try to help people with this every day, so here is what I have learned and what I can offer to you as help.

First of all I would advise that anyone who is drinking heavily should not try to stop on their own. In fact this is rather dangerous and can be potentially fatal if you do not detoxify yourself properly. At a drug rehab or treatment center they will have medical staff that knows how to get you through this dangerous process.

This brings us to our next point and that is that I highly recommend treatment for anyone who is serious about quitting alcohol. If you are not serious about quitting just yet then you should avoid treatment at all costs because it is quite expensive and it will not work unless you are desperate for it to work for you. But in the case that you have truly surrendered to your disease and genuinely want to make a change in your life then I urge you to find a treatment center and give it a try. There are a couple of additional reasons that treatment makes a lot of sense for quitting alcohol.

One example of this is the fact that you need new information in order to beat alcoholism. Face it, what you knew about how to drink alcohol almost got you killed. Your best thinking about how you should drink was ultimately destructive to you. So in order to achieve recovery you are going to have to learn a new way to live. In addition, the fact of the matter is that you probably have no clue about how to really live a clean and sober life. Treatment can start teaching you how to do this. In addition, treatment can help connect you with the resources to help you learn how to live sober after you get back out into the real world.

Another reason that make treatment a good idea is because of the support you can gain from going there. If there is one truth that can be said about alcoholism it is that you can't recover on your own. You need help and you need support in order to beat the disease of addiction and that is where your peers come in. The people you meet in treatment are trying to beat addiction just like you are, so they can provide help and support in a very direct manner. In the same way, you will find your own recover strengthened quite a bit by reaching out and helping others who are struggling to stay sober. So basically you need peer support from other alcoholics in order to recover, and you can get a big jump start on this by going to rehab.

In reality the ideas I've just written about are merely scratching the surface of what early recovery from alcohol addiction is all about.

Don't Let a Pain in Your Foot Become a Pain in Your Butt! By: Dr Andrew Schneider - Foot pain is common. At some point most people will experience pain or discomfort in their foot. While much of the time this is due to a direct foot issue, it sometimes can be because of instability elsewhere in the lower extremity. If left untreated, this can lead to pain in the ankles, knees, hips, back, or even your rear end. So my title can be taken literally or figuratively. A literal "pain in the rear" due to unstable mechanics comes in a condition known as Piriformis Syndrome.

Calorie Counting vs Intuitive Eating: Are They Mutually Exclusive? By: Tom Venuto - Why is it that any time you hear the words "calorie counting" or "food journaling", people start running for the hills? If creating menus, counting calories and keeping a food journal are research-proven, effective tools for nutrition awareness, education, motivation and accountability (they are), then why is there so much resistance to it? One reason is because it's perceived as work and hard work doesn't sell! Another reason is that skeptics say, "What about intuitive eating?" "What about people who lose fat without counting calories?
