A great day helping others

I had a great day today helping others. Helping others makes me feel good about myself. It also helps other people feel good about them. The moral of the story is when everybody helps everybody feels good!

Withdrawal has been a huge first step in finding sobriety

I have been drinking for over ten years and it has completely affected my life in a negative way. For a while now I wanted help, but did not know what to do. My parents got me into this program and I feel that withdrawal has been a huge first step in finding sobriety. I look forward to seeing what I am capable of as a sober adult.

Problems with alcohol

Most people who are problem drinkers would likely not acknowledge their issues with alcohol. They might point the blame elsewhere, attempt to diminish the real amount of alcohol they consume, drink in secret or hide their stash from others and experience panic and unease if they are unable to drink due to situational developments (running out of money, attending a social function that is “dry”, etc.). These are all warning signs that problems with alcohol have already developed and are quickly spiraling out of control.

If a person you care about is having problems with alcohol it can seem to take over your life too. You may experience additional stress worrying about their safety, health and livelihood. It is important for you as the loved one of a problem drinker to understand that you are not responsible for their actions. While it may not seem that the person you care about is making a choice to abuse alcohol, they are. It is their personal choice to reach for a drink to calm their nerves, relieve their stress or lessen their pain. Instead of making a conscious decision to redirect their attention into a positive and healthy way they are choosing to abuse alcohol to solve their immediate problem, only creating larger issues for themselves down the line.

Using Narconon Fresh Start treatment technology they have a very high success rate at lasting recovery and offer a program guarantee as well. Their skilled staff has been trained in helping people recover from all forms of drug and alcohol addiction problems.

Encouraging your loved one to enroll into Sunshine Summit Lodge is one of the best things you can do to end their problems with alcohol. They will learn how to stop living a life fuelled by alcohol and become the person they were meant to be, living a healthy life based on taking personal responsibility for themselves.
